Why use gulp-remember when there is gulp-cached?

[ahaurw01]

gulp-cached and gulp-remember do very different things. gulp-cached basically filters out files that it has already seen and haven't changed. gulp-remember adds files in that it has seen and are not present in the stream. They work very well together to exclude everything that hasn't changed, do processing on only those files that have changed, then add the other files back in so you can concat or bundle or do whatever business that requires all files of a certain type to be in the stream.

I can't speak to why your particular use case is confounding. Is it possible that ngAnnotate or sourcemaps are adding files back into the stream or reading from disk? I don't know anything about those plugins.

Thanks for the explanation! That's a good place to start - I'll pare down my task an see how it behaves. Will report back in case anyone has this question in the future.

Cool, sounds good. Don't hesitate to create another issue if you think gulp-remember isn't playing nice with somebody.

@bcherny Did you found anything interesting about ngAnnotate and gulp-remember?
