These are the relevant dependencies in this case:

'make website' could need a previous 'make doc' for some images to be built.

'make doc' needs a previous 'make' if the docs need an updated version
of the program to be built.  Especially regtests are a very probable
source of problems with an outdated version of the binary.

'make' could need a previous './autogen.sh' if something in the
buildscripts changed.

'./autogen.sh' is useless without a further 'make'

A working sequence could be

  time ( ./autogen.sh && make && make doc )

then go for some coffee or for a walk.  Watch the 'time' output and
try to learn guessing how long will it be expected to last.

The committishes in these files could refer to non-existant commits.
This probably is due to private branches having been merged, then made
public.  Don't rely too much on this, it has only 50 percent of sense,
even for myself.
