I'm not entirely sure what the enhancement you're requesting is...

Best I can currently suggest is that whoever adds or removes files from the Resources directory should also checkout, update, and commit Resources.Designer.cs with the relevant commit, which should thus sidestep this scenario in the first place.

(`aresgen.exe` won't replace a Resources.Designer.cs file unless the contents have changed, so that timestamps won't be modified and the great make(1)/MSBuild $deities can be appeased. This _should_ mean that if you haven't added or removed files from the Resources directory, the contents of Resources.Designer.cs should be unchanged, and you shouldn't see any errors.)
