Subject: [PATCH/resend] Fix use of hardlinks in "make install"
Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2008 02:20:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080830002032.GA14522@steel.home> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <81b0412b0808280717u78c5ccf8ne1413c701ed8edd9@mail.gmail.com>

The code failed to filter-out git-add properly on platforms were $X is
not empty (ATM there is only one such a platform).

Than it tried to create a hardlink to the file ($execdir/git-add) it just
removed (because git-add is first in the BUILT_INS), so ln failed (but
because stderr was redirected into /dev/null the error was never seen), and
the whole install ended up using "ln -s" instead.

Well, as usual, simple fix for a trivial typo caused by existence of an
idiotic platform.
