Original cover letter: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20230627195251.1973421-1-calvinwan@xxxxxxxxxx/ In the initial RFC, I had a patch that removed the trace2 dependency from usage.c so that git-std-lib.a would not have dependencies outside of git-std-lib.a files. Consequently this meant that tracing would not be possible in git-std-lib.a files for other developers of Git, and it is not a good idea for the libification effort to close the door on tracing in certain files for future development (thanks Victoria for pointing this out). That patch has been removed and instead I introduce stubbed out versions of repository.[ch] and trace2.[ch] that are swapped in during compilation time (I'm no Makefile expert so any advice on how on I could do this better would be much appreciated). These stubbed out files contain no implementations and therefore do not have any additional dependencies, allowing git-std-lib.a to compile with only the stubs as additional dependencies. This also has the added benefit of removing `#ifdef GIT_STD_LIB` macros in C files for specific library compilation rules. Libification shouldn't pollute C files with these macros. The boundaries for git-std-lib.a have also been updated to contain these stubbed out files. I have also made some additional changes to the Makefile to piggy back off of our existing build rules for .c/.o targets and their dependencies. As I learn more about Makefiles, I am continuing to look for ways to improve these rules. Eventually I would like to be able to have a set of rules that future libraries can emulate and is scalable in the sense of not creating additional toil for developers that are not interested in libification.
