Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: Add help target
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 02:51:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1282729913-25114-1-git-send-email-bebarino@gmail.com> (raw)
Today I forgot whether the target was quick-install-doc or
install-quick-doc and had to open the Makefile again to find out. I'd
rather not do that and just use:
$ make help
to get a quick summary of the interesting targets when my brain fails to
refresh. Add a help target, but don't add uninteresting things like
strip, install-gitweb, or targets which alias (install-man).

Some things I noticed:
* make V=0 is verbose
* sparse checking looks broken for the builtin/ directory structure
* t/Makefile has a target for valgrind, but the toplevel makefile doesn't
* 'make tags/TAGS/cscope' is always verbose
* I stay up late on Tuesdays
