A good idea to try and make these all common, but you cannot do this,
or at least this part of the patch.

The git-gui subdirectory of git.git is actually its own project,
maintained in its own Git repository.  It appears inside of
git.git only as a convience for users.  So I cannot reference
../common-make-vars.def as not all git-gui repositories have a
git.git repository wrapped around them.
