Hi,
we, as probably most users of EDK2, have a huge codebase with lots of
modules.
Autogen takes multiple minutes, which is unnecessary when doing a
rebuild. Luckily there is `--skip-autogen` but it only works if no INF,
DSC, ... file has been changed. The developer needs to know when they
can call that.
There seems to be a mechanism to automatically skip autogen for
individual modules if they haven't been updated. However this doesn't
seem to work anymore. I think the change that reverted this was the fix for:

by Bob in 3a7a6761143a4840faea0bd84daada3ac0f1bd22
Is there any plan to properly fix this? Because it would be a huge
timesaver to have automatic autogen skipping.
Thanks,
Daniel
