Yes, indeed, the problem is already known by precompiled headers.
But I don't know a other solution than to compile without precompiled
headers/each file separate, or to watch the commit list ;)
But you are right, to prevent this it would be perfect to
have the files not in one big _touched file. Have to think
about it.
