[PATCH] For git-subtree, when installing docs (make install-doc), create man1 folder first.

[PATCH] For git-subtree, when installing docs (make install-doc), create man1 folder first.

[Jesper L. Nielsen]

From: "Jesper L. Nielsen" <lyager@gmail.com>

Hi..

I installed Git subtree and discovered that the if the man1dir doesn't exist the man-page for Git Subtree is just called man1.

So, small patch to create the folder first in the Makefile. Hope everything is right with the patch and submitting of the patch.

Best Regards
Jesper

This is a good first step in the right direction, I think.

Shouldn't the install targets take DESTDIR into account like the
main Makefile does, though?

As to the patch submission, everything below "---" line looks sane,
but please check how others write commit log messages by browsing a
handful of entries in "git log --no-merges" output and notice the
difference (the details are found in Documentation/SubmittingPatches).

Thanks.

Yep.  I can add it to my queue which I'll send to you tomorrow.
Otherwise, feel free to apply it to your copy.

I've applied this to my local copy and will send it to the list for
integration.

Thanks for fixing this!
