From 4e3ae59ef63475411f4c073ba3a1478b1ef73b9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Riesen Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:57:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Fix use of hardlinks in "make install" The code failed to filter-out git-add properly on platforms were $X is not empty (ATM there is only one such a platform). Than it tried to create a hardlink to the file ($execdir/git-add) it just removed (because git-add is first in the BUILT_INS), so ln failed (but because stderr was redirected into /dev/null the error was never seen), and the whole install ended up using "ln -s" instead.
