Problem: when git is installed into /usr/local/bin, running 'sudo make install' won't find git in $PATH (because sudo strips PATH for security reasons). This causes GIT-VERSION-FILE to not find git for git describe, and fall back to DEF_VER. This in turn causes rebuilds of major parts of the system. Typical failing scenario: make configure ./configure # defaults to --prefix=/usr/local make all doc sudo make install install-doc install-html # REBUILDS HAPPEN HERE This patch passes GIT through to the shell script, and additionally looks for the current built version and in ${prefix}/bin.
