This sounds as a bug. Could you elaborate on that please ?


BTW the test for a StGit repo is:

isStGIT = run("stg branch", &stgCurBranch); // slow command

in function Git::getRefs() , file git_startup.cpp

Could the following help ?

I knew that. For my use I always delete Makefiles after modifying any
of *.pro files, I'm sure it exists a better way but honestly I didn't
investigate too much on this.

MAKEFILE
This variable specifies the name of the Makefile which qmake should
use when outputting the dependency information for building a project.
The value of this variable is typically handled by qmake or qmake.conf
and rarely needs to be modified.

I annotated the src.pro file and I found that line belongs from the
very first version of src.pro, possibly copied from the Qt examples,
so it smells you are right and we could remove that.
