The discussion in the thread "Updating a package's gnulib files in CVS"
has shown that some people need gnulib-tool to work this way, while others
need it to work the way it currently does. So, I agree there should be an
option to specify it. And since it usually does not change with repeated
gnulib-tool invocations it should be persisted in the gnulib-cache.m4 file.
You're welcome to propose a patch!
