 The build script will ask cargo to rerun it whenever the project or the currently checked out commit changes.
 It will not necessarily be rerun if only the dependencies change (`build_info_build::build_script` will try to find the lockfile and depend on it, but it is not really aware of any of the more intricate features, such as, cargo workspaces).
 Please open an issue if your specific use case requires a more strict rerun policy for `build.rs` and include a short description what additional files should trigger a rebuild when changed.
