Makefile: stop hardcoding {command,config}-list.h

avar · gitster · commit 7c3c0a99cc22 · 2021-09-23T15:06:47.000-07:00
Change various places that hardcode the names of these two files to refer to either $(GENERATED_H), or to a new generated-hdrs target. That target is consistent with the *-objs targets I recently added in 029bac0 (Makefile: add {program,xdiff,test,git,fuzz}-objs & objects targets, 2021-02-23). A subsequent commit will add a new generated hook-list.h. By doing this refactoring we'll only need to add the new file to the GENERATED_H variable, not EXCEPT_HDRS, the vcbuild/README etc. Hardcoding command-list.h there seems to have been a case of copy/paste programming in 976aaed (msvc: add a Makefile target to pre-generate the Visual Studio solution, 2019-07-29). The config-list.h was added later in 709df95 (help: move list_config_help to builtin/help, 2020-04-16).
