no need for "make install", just "make" would be enough:
you run the commands explicitely in the current directory:

    strace -o log -mall -f ./git --exec-path $(pwd) add testfile

> Attached is the log from the latest strace.

Are you sure? It looks like a strace of some random git program...
The link, which failed in log_2 attempt is not even called.
Oh... Could you redo the test after running "git reset --hard" first?

And have you tried running tests in a directory without whitespace in
path? Like "c:/windows", for example?
