Ned Deily added the comment: Unfortunately, those syntax differences aren't the only problems you could run into so making these syntax changes isn't really a general solution, IMO. 'make touch' is the documented and supported way to ensure that the unnecessary build steps are not run. But, as you discovered, 'make touch' only works with an hg copy of the repo; it was not designed for git clones. To fully support git clones, there would need to be a git equivalent of the hg scripts called by 'make touch'. This would be a worthwhile project for someone interested in git support to work on and would be considered for inclusion in the repo.
