I think scons is doing the right thing - it is rebuilding precisely the
targets which it should rebuild.

A repository refresh, pulls in several "remote" changes to local files.
Scons is right in rebuilding targets affected by them.  I'm just trying to
avoid building targets which are not affected by my local changes.

I understand that this is not a use case for scons, but I was hoping to
somehow determine the set of targets affected by my local changes, and then
explicitly build only those changes to verify correctness of my local
changes.

Thanks,
Abhishek
