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?

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?
