Avery Pennarun 174a093dc5 Don't set_checked() on is_override files.
If a file is overridden and then overridden again, this caused us to
rebuild only the first thing that depends on it, but not any subsequent
things, which is a pretty serious bug.

It turned out that t/350-deps-forget is already supposed to test this,
but I had cleverly encoded the wrong behaviour into the expected
results in the table-driven test.  I blame lack of sleep.  Anyway, I
fixed the test, which made it fail, and then fixed the code, which made
it pass.

redo - a recursive build system

Smaller, easier, more powerful, and more reliable than make.

This is an implementation of Daniel J. Bernstein's redo build system. He never released his version, so other people have implemented different variants based on his published specification.

This version, sometimes called apenwarr/redo, is probably the most advanced one, including support for parallel builds, improved logging, and helpful debugging features.

To build and test redo, run ./do -j10 test. To install it, run DESTDIR=/tmp/testinstall PREFIX=/usr/local ./do -j10 install.
