Please don't copy the .c files around.  That just invites confusion
because git will show that there are new files, debugfs/recovery.c and
debugfs/revoke.c, and some future unwary developer might try to edit
recovery.c and revoke.c in the debugfs directory.

Much better to do it this way:

recovery.o: $(srcdir)/../e2fsck/recovery.c
	$(E) "	CC $@"
	$(Q) $(CC) -c $(ALL_CFLAGS) -I$(srcdir) \
		 $(srcdir)/../e2fsck/recovery.c -DDEBUGFS -o $@

revoke.o: $(srcdir)/../e2fsck/revoke.c
	$(E) "	CC $@"
	$(Q) $(CC) -c $(ALL_CFLAGS) -I$(srcdir) \
		 $(srcdir)/../e2fsck/revoke.c -DDEBUGFS -o $@

I'll fix this up when I apply this patch.

Cheers,
