Makefile targets aren't triggered by the include directive.

Umm, yes they are, see (make) Remaking Makefiles.

Ah, yes. But it was being included in more places than just that
-include directive, so I didn't spot the difference:

Without that directive, still generated on make clean:

Deleted the rule, not generated, but other things are still calling
the rule:


Why not delete the rule? We only handle this on 'make clean' command ('make distclean') target


Sorry.it's typo .Why delete the rule

We have two place to call GIT-VERSION-FILE target in top Makefile
 
git.o git.spec \
        $(patsubst %.sh,%,$(SCRIPT_SH)) \
        $(patsubst %.perl,%,$(SCRIPT_PERL)) \
        : GIT-VERSION-FILE

clean:
$(RM) GIT-VERSION-FILE GIT-CFLAGS GIT-GUI-VARS GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS


My patch is to don't call GIT-VERSION-FILE target when you run 'make clean'



Thanks
