It should download new cookbooks when they change. What you may be
seeing (though I thought it was resolved with 0.10.x) is metadata.json
being uploaded.

In your cookbook directory, if you have a metadata.json file, remove
it and try to reupload the cookbook.

Also it would help to mention if you're running on the platform or a
local chef-server.
