Basically, I use use config -n on the very rare occasion that I actually run
config.  Most of the time it's building a new test kernel, which I do
anaverage of about two a day.  I *always* use 'make depend'.

On the rare occasion that I actually change any config settings, I look at the
impact it has. If it's safe, I just do a 'make depend; make'.  Otherwise, I do
a 'make clean' first.  Being able to tell when it's safe to skip the 'make
clean' is the kicker. :-)

'make clean' does not reset the version number.  

Cheers,
-Peter
