The definition of TEST_OBJS in commit daa99a91 (Makefile: make sure
test helpers are rebuilt when headers change, 2010-01-26) moved a use
of $X to before the platform-specific section where it gets defined.
There are at least two ways to fix that:
- Change the definition of TEST_OBJS to use the = delayed
evaluation operator. This way, one need not worry about $(X)
needing to be defined before TEST_OBJS is set.
- Move the definition of TEST_OBJS to below the definition of $X.
Carry out the second. The later site of definition makes the code more
readable, since now a reader only has to look down one line to see what
TEST_OBJS is meant to be used for.
Oddly enough, with or without this change the behavior of the Makefile
is the same. Since TEST_PROGRAMS is defined with delayed evaluation,
the value of
TEST_OBJS := $(patsubst test-%$X,test-%.o,$(TEST_PROGRAMS))
is independent of the value of $X when it is evaluated: the $X in the
pattern and the $X in $(TEST_PROGRAMS) will simply always cancel out.
Make sure $X has the expected expansion anyway to make the code and
the reader’s sanity more robust in the face of future changes.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
