Re: [BUG] Failed to make install-info

Hmmm...  That's an interesting take on things
given the top of the INSTALL file:

		    Git installation

    Normally you can just do "make" followed by "make install", and that
    will install the git programs in your own ~/bin/ directory.  If you want
    to do a global install, you can do

	    $ make prefix=/usr all doc info ;# as yourself
	    # make prefix=/usr install install-doc install-info ;# as root

Granted, it's the first time I've actually tried
to install the docs on this (debian) machine too.
I've normally just read them straight out of the
doc directory. :-)

But I will have to agree with you on the problems
surrounding the One Install to Rule Them All (and
in the darkness bind9 them).
