I think postgres git repo is broken.
The compilation of REL7_4_STABLE from git fails on my system with:
make -C src all
make -C port all
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `sprompt.o', needed by `libpgport.a'. Stop.
There is no sprompt.c in src/port in the sources obtained from git. However, there is one in CVS:
http://anoncvs.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/port/sprompt.c?only_with_tag=REL7_4
This looks like the initial synchronization issue, since this file is there for really long time and appears not to be
touchedby any commit since 2003.
