+Subject: [PATCH] depend on sha1_h in src/vulkan/overlay-layer
+
+Without this, the dependency ordering gets messed up and during
+highly parallel builds the git_sha1.h file gets generated later
+than overlay-layer is compiled. That results in build errors like:
+
+overlay.cpp:31:10: fatal error: git_sha1.h: No such file or directory
