That does not seem to match any of the ways how INSTALL tells us to
build and install.
Excerpts from INSTALL
(1) ... If you want to do a global install, you can do
$ make prefix=/usr all doc info ;# as yourself
# make prefix=/usr install install-doc install-html install-info ;# as root
Note how "prefix" is spelled.
(2) Alternatively you can use autoconf generated ./configure
script to set up install paths (via config.mak.autogen), so
you can write instead
$ make configure ;# as yourself
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr ;# as yourself
$ make all doc ;# as yourself
# make install install-doc install-html;# as root
Note how "make" does not have any "prefix".
Also when you install to a temporary directory so that you can tar
up the resulting hierarchy, the variable to use is spelled DESTDIR,
e.g.
make DESTDIR=/var/tmp/git-2.2.1 install install-doc

Hopefully the above would be a good start to help you figure that
out.
