It's a reasonable idea, in general, but may or may not be useful for any particular problem. In general, the objects in your subdirectories are also doing to depend on some but not most things from an include directory, and so there's not much benefit you can get on a per-directory granularity. On the other hand, I've gotten good results by embedding the commit sha1 in generated object files, which allowed me to exactly identify different builds much later, and even figure out what the source that went into them was. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
