[Scons-users] Phony targets

[TOM TANNER (BLOOMBERG/ LONDON)]

We have some optional extra validation on our build system, basically, to ensure that what you have built is reproducable, that you don't have uncomitted files in the build you are going to release to production.

As this scans through the repository looking for uncommitted files it's an always build function.

There is little point in having a produced file, as only the error is of interest.

What would be the purpose of such a target?
What logic would you want it to run?
