I looked at Makefile, and seems that it occurs from here: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Makefile#L2205 It tries to copy all files/folders from git root directory but 'install' command prints this error. I tried to execute 'sudo install -d -m 755' in other directory and if there is directory too it prints the same error. For example: ~/scripts $ ls addPPA cleanMailTrash git-autor git-ranges git-tp install scripts ssh-live term-help tp-git updateMail xray-start buildGit deployWork git-install git-remove-tags git-update-commit-message install.sh ssh-build ssh-wiwob-lab test updateGitDev updateNews test - is directory here ~/scripts $ sudo install -d -m 755 .
