I doubt it. This would only work if the timestamps were untouched...
Well, I haven't tried, but at least with CVS the timestamp is the one of the 
checkout, not the one of the last commit. Which makes sense of course, 
e.g. if you checkout, compile, modify a file, compile, revert, compile
 -> you want a newer timestamp, not an old one that make won't notice.

Anyway, it's a good time to detect build problems when compiling koffice from scratch :-)
