Well spotted, yes. This is a mistake. I think from some earlier WIP
version of the series.

In practice we don't really miss dependencies due to these sorts of
mistakes since we use the .depends files, i.e. GCC & Clang figure this
out for us:

    $ grep hook-list .depend/* */.depend/*
    builtin/.depend/bugreport.o.d: compat/compiler.h git-compat-util.h hook.h hook-list.h
    builtin/.depend/bugreport.o.d:hook-list.h:

But we do over-depend a bit, if you touch hook-list.h and make
builtin/help.o we'll re-generate it due to this line.

If you or anyone else is more generally interested in the Makefile I'd
really like to get some reviews over at:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-v2-00.18-00000000000-20211112T214150Z-avarab@gmail.com/

I've got some follow-up work that solve these dependencies more
generally, e.g. in this case we should really not need to slavishly
maintain these fallback dependency lists by hand, or have automated ways
of validating their correctness.
