So the real workaround is - you compile YOUR OWN VERSION instead of trying to force your stupid opinion on everybody by forcing the default for distros to be _idiotic_, and then you can do that gitexecdir=/usr/bin and wallow in your own shitty inability to teach yourself not to do the dash. - or you do - in a _personal_ file - that PATH="$PATH:$(git --exec-path)" thing, and forget about it, and never ever have to worry about how git was compiled and installed. The second is obviously the much superior model, exactly because it allows those people who do _not_ want to see git-xyzzy to work on the same machine. > Since I believe you're building the git packages used on kernel.org, I > was just asking you to apply the workaround when you build _those_ > packages, that's all. Don't be silly. Why are you grand poo-bah? Why cannot you just add your PATH to your .bash_profile? Get over it already. Why the hell are you _still_ whining, after I have told you to do that PATH thing at least ten times already? Linus
