Don't modify CREDITS-FILE if it hasn't changed.
We should always avoid rewriting a built file during `make install` if nothing has changed since `make all`. This is to help support the typical installation process of compiling a package as yourself, then installing it as root. Forcing CREDITS-FILE to be always be rebuilt in the Makefile means that CREDITS-GEN needs to check for a change and only update CREDITS-FILE if the file content actually differs. After all, content is king in Git. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
