Funny; I thought that not all header files are library header files, i.e. not all header changes should trigger a full new build of libgit.a.

Am I wrong?

Ciao, Dscho

P.S.: Something that comes to mind is the http.h header, which should really be independent of libgit.a. Which reminds me: do we _still_ tell libgit.a at _compile time_ whether git-remote-http is compiled with cURL?
