Subject: Running make in contrib/subtree does not create executable
Message-ID: <CAMYxyaVrknapiF6L3Lnf5U59h7RCUY8qhYtipZp5P0k3Y1tCxg@mail.gmail.com>

Running "make" in contrib/subtree no longer creates the git-subtree executable:

$ git describe
v2.1.0
$ make -C contrib/subtree
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make -C ../../ GIT-VERSION-FILE
GIT_VERSION = 2.1.0
make[1]: `GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date.
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make -C ../../ GIT-VERSION-FILE
make[1]: `GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date.
make: `../../GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date.
$ ls contrib/subtree/git-subtree
ls: contrib/subtree/git-subtree: No such file or directory

The change appears to be inadvertent. I bisected it to
8e2a5ccad11bc21eb72499133bc884024e299983 ("contrib/subtree/Makefile:
use GIT-VERSION-FILE").

This was reproduced on OS X 10.9 with GNU make 3.81.
