I am slowly progressing towards writing a test case for it ;-).
Actually, I just wrote a first simple test for it. I didn't find this (now
the stg branch finds out properly), but I found another problem -- when
switching from non-stgit branch to a stgit one, Git::init will not notice,
because the path didn't change, so the check is not re-run. Applies to the
other direction too, of course.

I don't recall the details (it was some time ago) and the repository might
have been a bit screwed up. The point there was the branch /used to be/
a stgit one. So it was rather a problem of stgit keeping duplicate
information all over the place.

By the way, I looked at the makefiles again and found that they are actually
regenerated correctly when you change the .pro files. While the master
makefile does not have dependencies for the subdir makefiles, each makefile
does have dependencies for itself. And make always tries to rebuild the
makefile before doing anything else. Therefore it does not work to:
make src//Makefile
but it *does* work to:
make -C src Makefile
(*and* it will rebuild the makefile when you 'make debug' or 'make release').
