Pretesting of releases goes on for months. It seems highly unlikely that
a brand new entire file will be added at the least minute. Thus I don't
think any such problems will occur "at the last second" in practice.

If I read `bzr log' correctly, the last time a file was added or renamed
in emacs-23, for example, was 3 months ago.
