... I'm asking because I tried the --binary-destination option as well,
and in the bin cache directory, *.depex and *.inf files were stored as
well, not just *.hash values.

So I figure, whatever gets stored in the binary cache directory, should
be deleted when I'd like to invalidate the cache.

Now, removing this separate cache directory altogether would solve my
question; but that would require me to use "--binary-destination" and
"--binary-source" together. The idea is that "--hash" would fetch the
hash values from that separate directory, and it would also write the
new hash values back to that directory. In addition this directory would
be very easy to remove, so "--hash" would know whenever the hash was empty.

However, it looks like "--binary-destination" and "--binary-source"
cannot be used together. Why is that?

Thanks,
