Subject: [PATCH v2] Explicitly set X to avoid potential build breakage
Date: Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:59:04 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1974397.vopy2n9Vpb@telegraph> (raw)

$X is appended to binary names for Windows builds (ie. git.exe).
Pollution from the environment can inadvertently trigger this behaviour,
resulting in 'git' turning into 'gitwhatever' without warning.
