I cannot decide if a parameter makes more sense, or just making
the existence of such a file a cue is better.  For example, I do
not much care about when I updated each of my topic branch head,
while I do care about master, next, and pu branches.  A global
parameter would make this black-or-white choice, while opening
the log without O_CREAT and write things out only when the log
file exists might make things as easy and controllable.

I could "touch" the ones I care about to prime the process.

Hmm?
