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.

Scrap that, there is something else going on in that cygwindows thing... > Well, as usual, simple fix for trivial typo caused by existence of an idiotic platform.
