Maybe I'm missing something, but the current behavior is what I'd expect to happen. Sure, bin-wrappers/git depends on "git" at run-time if you want it to do something useful. But AFAIK it doesn't at build-time. Why do we want a build-time dependency? Are we expecting rules to depend on bin-wrappers/foo but not also on foo? Or people to ask manually for those targets? This kind of feels like making git-repack depend on git-pack-objects. One will call the other at run-time, but there's no reason the builds have to be together. And if you try to build and run one without building the other, well...if it hurts, don't do it. -Peff
