```
The 'make clean' target doesn't remove the 'git' application and since
the 'git' make target depends on git.c directly it won't get rebuilt
after a clean.

The net result is that if you do:
   make
   make clean
   make prefix=/usr/local
   make prefix=/usr/local install

it won't install the correct git binary.
