Just to be clear, you checked in the compiled version of the oct file
into git? (Aside: Using git to track compiled files is a little
strange.) And when you change to a different compiled file by doing
"git checkout other-branch", Octave doesn't reload the oct file?

Is this a problem you experience only with git? If you swap around oct
files without git, does Octave reload them? If it's only a git
problem, perhaps there is some hardlinking going on, but I would like
to make sure.
