Do not overwrite existing vcproj file with identical file #196

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
A while back Arthur mentioned MS VC will do extra work every time a VC project 
file is written to, even if the new project file is identical to the old one. 
He suggested writing to temp files, and check for differences before 
overwriting the existing project files.

I don't believe this is the case. We have a WriteIfDiff thingy inbetween writes 
to files that skips the actually writing if nothing's new.

Ah, sounds like we already implement what Arthur mentioned.
