A few years later everything, with a few exceptions like git-upload-pack and git-receive-pack, was expected to be invoked as "git $cmd". Now something like a decade later we're still installing these old commands in gitexecdir. This is so someone with a shellscript that still targets e.g. "git-init" can add $(git --exec-path) to their $PATH and not have to change their script. Let's add an option to break this backwards compatibility. Now with NO_INSTALL_BUILTIN_EXECDIR_ALIASES=YesPlease there's only 3 programs in the bindir that are hardlinked to "git" (receive-pack, upload-archive & upload-pack), and 3 in the gitexecdir (git-remote-{ftp,ftps,https} linked to git-remote-http). There's no cross-directory links anymore, so the "NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS" flag becomes redundant under this new option. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/87woyfdkoi.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason --- Makefile | 8 ++++++++ install_programs | 36 +++++++++++++++++++++--------------- 2 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 07c8b74353..a849a7b6d1 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -346,6 +346,13 @@ all:: # INSTALL_SYMLINKS if you'd prefer not to have the install procedure # fallack on hardlinking or copying if "ln -s" fails. # +# Define NO_INSTALL_BUILTIN_EXECDIR_ALIASES if you'd like to skip +# installing legacy such as "git-init" and "git-add" in the +# gitexecdir.
