Earlier, you were having this symptom:

If that is the case, you did not just (quote) "and ran "make"".

You must have run "make frotz=xyzzy target", but you did not mention
what frotz, xyzzy and target were.

So you are doing

	make bindir=$HOME/git/git/ install

as the last step of your installation.  I _strongly_ suspect
your breakage is caused because you did a make with different
configuration before that.  That is, if you do this, that is
consistent with the symptom:

	make
	make bindir=$HOME/git/git/ gitexecdir=$HOME/git/git/ install

It probably would help if you did this:

	make clean
	make bindir=$HOME/git/git gitexecdir=$HOME/git/git/
	make bindir=$HOME/git/git gitexecdir=$HOME/git/git/ install

As I said in a previous message, the first paragraph in INSTALL
file explains this.
