You forgot 3. 3. rewrite scripts so that they would require only POSIX; for ones that do need GNU extended coreutils to do in shell, find other ways, perhaps rewriting the stuff in C. I am not looking forward to do the g- prefix in the main Makefile. The approach to have symlink forest under gitexecdir (<Pine.LNX.4.64.0605162047380.10823@xxxxxxxxxxx> by Linus) is more palatable, and I am not opposed to host a script to do so under contrib/notgnu perhaps. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
