I didn't know that I am the only one.  Am I?

I assume that you are talking about conflicts.  In fact, that's one of
the main reasons for wanting a quiet update so that I can catch those
right away when I am working on some files.  I do an automatic update
daily to keep current with the head. I don't do a "make distclean"
first because I may be working on something and I want to keep the
changes in the tree to try stuff and report patches against HEAD.
