Now we are still in trouble.  Because the timestamp for foobar.h, created this way, would be as old as foo.h.  And so yes make will notice that the new foobar.h is there, but will think it  is an old file, older than include/foobar.h, and now again foobar.o will not be rebuilt.

If you mv a file, all files which included the old name must be edited, and therefore also rebuilt.
