Not in user visible out but 'yes' internally. When you give '+', gtags
assumes the file exists on disk without calling stat().
Without the '+', the stat() is called
- If the file does not exist (ENOENT or ESTALE), it is treated as deleted
- If exists, its time stamp is compared (default behavior without my change)
