IIRC all games did use git.mk in the before the rewrites. I guess it
has just been an oversight that some of them did not include it after.
I just checked a few games (five-or-more, swell-foop, quadrapassel,
robots, nibbles) and they all still have it. So yes, please do add it
if some games are missing it.

It might become outdated but we can updated it regularly or at least
when we notice that we are missing useful behavior.
