git:Documentation/Makefile and others establish "RM ?= rm -f" as a convention for rm calls in clean rules, hence follow this convention instead of simply forcing clean to use rm. subproj and mainline no longer need to be removed in clean, as they are no longer created in git:contrib/subtree by "make test". Hence, remove the rm call for those folders. Other makefiles don't remove "*~" files, remove the rm call to prevent unexpected behaviour in the future. Similarly, clean doesn't remove the installable file, so rectify this. Signed-off-by: James Denholm <nod.helm@xxxxxxxxx> --- Admittedly, git:Makefile does not itself follow the "RM ?= rm -f" setup, instead using "RM = rm -f", but I felt that there were probably $ARCANE_REASONS for this. Also, Peff, you were right about the dirs. contrib/subtree/Makefile | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/contrib/subtree/Makefile b/contrib/subtree/Makefile index f3834b5..4f96a24 100644 --- a/contrib/subtree/Makefile +++ b/contrib/subtree/Makefile @@ -11,8 +11,9 @@ man1dir ?= $(mandir)/man1 -include ../../GIT-VERSION-FILE -# this should be set to a 'standard' bsd-type install program -INSTALL ?= install +# These should be set to 'standard' bsd-type programs +INSTALL ?= install +RM ?= rm -f ASCIIDOC = asciidoc XMLTO = xmlto @@ -60,7 +61,7 @@ test: $(MAKE) -C t/ test clean: - rm -f *~ *.xml *.html *.1 - rm -rf subproj mainline + $(RM) $(GIT_SUBTREE) + $(RM) *.xml *.html *.1 .PHONY: FORCE -- 1.9.2 -- 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
