It would be good idea, although "POSIX-compliant shells" implies coreutils somewhat; shell scripts usually do require some utilities, like sed, grep, cat, test etc. > 3) Patch git to use automake's install-sh. (Would such a patch be ever > accepted?) I think it would. It would allow us also to uncomment the AC_PROG_INSTALL line in configure.ac file to find 'install' automatically (autoconf requires having install.sh or install-sh fallback in the sources). The problem is coming up with minimal yet portable (at least as portable as git itself) fallback install.sh script. -- Jakub Narebski Poland
