On the substance of the patch: I wonder whether we could make things
more reliable by using git metadata to figure out which .h and .c

I guess what you're wanting is a test to see if the file is in git or a 
generated file? That doesn't really arise for me as I always do vpath 
builds, so generated files are always elsewhere.

Right.  But if we're trying to make this easy, we need to make
the automation work for all three use-cases (in-tree makefiles,
vpath makefiles, meson).  I was just wondering if relying on
git would simplify getting the same results in all three.
			

I think we could use

    git ls-files -t $file

or similar.
