Doubt that it matters. The workflow would have to be "commit and push
the mechanical updates, then edit the tracking file, commit and push
that". You don't have the commit hash nailed down till you've pushed.
So if we decided to do the mechanical updates in several commits,
not just one, I'd still be inclined to do them all and then edit the
tracking file once.
