> Actually, I think the problem here is that I suspect git is changing the timestamps when it checks out the files.  the mod times.  Your build system is going to notice that the mod times changed on the files in question and force a rebuild (since they'll be newer mod times than the object files).

This is not a bug. It is what comment above say.

Git plugins have been written to improve this. See http://marc.info/?l=git&m=128616773419532&w=2

One could just improve the UsingGitWithWebKit wiki page and close this bug as invalid I think.
