Re: Behaviour when using both "--dry-run" and "--always-make" together

[Karl Berry]

Hi Johan,

    make --dry-run --always-make 

I'm somehow amazed these two options work together at all. They seem
mutually unintelligible. In any case, it's the first time I've heard of
this, so I don't have a best (or any) practice to suggest. Sorry.
Maybe someone else here has some ideas.

I imagine there must be some way to avoid the endless loop, but it's not
something I'll ever have time/energy to debug. Any reasonable patch
would be welcome, though. --best, karl.
