Your patch shows that our Makefile has been lacking a necessary
dependency for a long time.  LIB_H is not "public headers list",
but more like "the headers everybody depends on", and the header
file should have been on that list.  Thanks.

I am however not convinced it is a good idea to treat libgit.a
as if it is a library.  It is not a library in the usual sense
of the word.  Originally we did libgit.a primarily so that we do
not have to list all the *.o dependencies in the Makefile out of
laziness ;-)
