Existing non-generated file warning missing in redo-ifchange?

Shouldn't the output be the same in these two examples?

# all: redo void-rpi2.img
+pechkin ~/.../repos/packer-rpi % redo
redo  all
redo: void-rpi2.img: exists and not marked as generated; not redoing.

# all: redo-ifchange void-rpi2.img
+pechkin ~/.../repos/packer-rpi % redo
redo  all

I think the warning is useful, important even, in the second case (had me confused why it wasn't rebuilding it).

Thanks for making redo. Fantastic software!

to pechkin, redo

If I had to guess: it looked at the all target and decided that it was up to date so no further processing was needed.

Yes that's what happened, my point was about letting me know why it happened - this message "exists and not marked as generated; not redoing." does not appear when invoked with `redo-ifchange`, only if invoked with `redo`. This seems wrong or not as helpful as it could be.
