Eg. emacs, gcc, make, pango, lilypond, etc etc. It's a quite standard feature ; you should be asking why git shouldn't support it. Another option is to make a special solution based on makefiles, so make is run inside the srcdir, but output shunted output to a separate objects/ subdirectory. However, it's more work, and less standardized. --
