When a C file "foo.c" depends on a generated header file, we
note the dependency for the "foo.o" target. However, we
should also note it for other targets that are built from
foo.c, like "foo.sp" and "foo.s". These tend to be missed
because the latter two are not part of the default build,
and are typically built after a regular build which will
generate the header. Let's be consistent about including
them in dependencies.
This also makes us more consistent with nearby lines which
tack on EXTRA_CPPFLAGS when building certain files. These
flags may sometimes require extra dependencies to be added
(e.g., like GIT-VERSION-FILE; this is not the case for any
of the updated lines in this patch, but it is establishing a
style that will be used in later patches). Technically the
".sp" and ".s" targets do not care about these dependencies,
because they are force-built (".sp" because it is a phony
target, and ".s" because we explicitly force a rebuild).
Since the blocks in question are about communicating "things
built from foo.c depend on these flags", it frees the reader
from having to know or care more about how those targets are
implemented, and why it is OK for only "foo.o" to depend on
GIT-VERSION-FILE while "foo.sp" and "foo.s" both are
impacted by $(GIT_VERSION). And it helps future-proof us if
those force-build details should ever change.
This patch explicitly does not update the static header
dependencies used when COMPUTED_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES is off.
They are similar to the GIT-VERSION-FILE case above, in that
technically "foo.s" would depend on its included headers,
but it is irrelevant because we force-build it anyway. So it
would be tempting to update them in the same way (for
readability and future-proofing). However, those rules are
meant as a fallback to the computed header dependencies,
which do not handle ".s" and ".sp" at all (and are a much
harder problem to solve, as gcc is the one generating those
dependency lists).
So let's leave that harder problem until (and if) somebody
wants to change the ".sp" and ".s" rules, and keep the
static header dependencies consistent with the computed
ones.

"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.

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).
