From: Peter Rosin <address@hidden> The rationale for this change is that it is annoying to have to repeat the directory name when including a Makefile fragment. For deep directory structures these repeats can generate a lot of bloat. It also hinders reuse and easy directory restructuring if all Makefile fragments have to know exactly where they live.
I was not aware that it is my birthday today but it sure feels like it now after reading this email. Much thanks to Peter and Stefano for implementing this.
A substantial blocker for converting large packages to non-recursive builds will be eliminated. Considerable time and electricity will be saved.
