Re: [PATCH v3 8/9] Makefile: use $(wspfx) for $(QUIET...) in shared.mak

Change the mostly move-only change in the preceding commit to use the
$(wspfx) variable for defining the QUIET padding, to guarantee that
it's consistent with the "TRACK_template" template.

    $ make CFLAGS=-I$RANDOM grep.o wspfx='$(space)->'
     -> GIT-CFLAGS PARAMETERS (changed)
     -> CC grep.o

What is a TRACK_template?  Is this some "rebase -i" gone bad?
