NO_MSGFMT

["Dominik Mahrer (Teddy)" <teddy@teddy.ch>]

Hi all

I'm compiling git from source code on a mashine without msgfmt. This 
leads to compile errors. To be able to compile git I created a patch 
that at least works for me:

diff -Naur ../git-2.14.1.orig/Makefile ./Makefile

'$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(gitexec_instdir_SQ)/$p$X' || $(RM) 
'$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(gitexec_instdir_SQ)/$p';)



It would be great if it (or something similar) could be included in git.
