Situation: sudo make install rebuilds the whole package even if you've just built it before. For instance:
make configure ./configure # defaults to --prefix=/usr/local make all doc sudo make install install-doc install-html # REBUILDS HAPPEN HERE
This causes the "sudo make install" to rebuild everything because it believes the version had changed. sudo strips $PATH for security reasons.
The underlying problem flow is:
1 - Makefile has "include GIT-VERSION-FILE", thus gmake builds
GIT-VERSION-FILE early.2 - GIT-VERSION-FILE depends on a .PHONY target (.FORCE-GIT-VERSION-FILE)
3 - Thus, GNU make *always* executes GIT-VERSION-GEN
4 - GIT-VERSION-GEN now, under the stripped $PATH, cannot find "git" and
sees a different version number.
5 - GIT-VERSION-GEN notes the difference in versions and regenerates
GIT-VERSION-FILE, with up-to-date timestamp.
6 - GNU make rebuilds everything because GIT-VERSION-FILE is new.The patch makes GIT-VERSION-GEN look for the current built git$X executable, and in $(prefix)/bin/git, before falling back to plain "git" and thus to the default version in GIT-VERSION-GEN.
