It's not that libgit.a isn't rebuilt, that part isn't broken, it's built
by the top-level Makefile. It's that if you:

    make -C contrib/scalar

And then change anything it depends on, short of the top-level
rebuilding libgit.a it won't be re-built, so for anyone hacking on it
that Makefile is rather useless.

Is this merely an example, or is this the only thing you cared about
the build procedure?

I would still like to invite you to think along more productive lines.
It's not about where Scalar's build mechanics are right now. It's where we
can take _Git_ to do what Scalar already does.

That's also interesting, but right now we're not discussing that
subsequent set of patches, but your integration of scalar in-tree. Let's
fix those issues first.
