If having extra entries didn't cause a problem, I would suspect that it was just that. But that missing entries *also* doesn't cause a problem, I'd suspect that this section of the Makefile just isn't being used. Of course, I'm not using it since I'm not on Windows, but maybe dscho or Stolee would know if there are legitimate uses. Of course, if there aren't, I'm favor of getting rid of this section entirely. > Makefile | 2 -- > 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile > index 65f8cfb236..271b96348e 100644 > --- a/Makefile > +++ b/Makefile > @@ -2901,7 +2901,6 @@ ifdef MSVC > # because it is just a copy/hardlink of git.exe, rather than a unique binary. > $(INSTALL) git.pdb '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(bindir_SQ)' > $(INSTALL) git-shell.pdb '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(bindir_SQ)' > - $(INSTALL) git-upload-pack.pdb '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(bindir_SQ)' > $(INSTALL) git-credential-store.pdb '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(gitexec_instdir_SQ)' > $(INSTALL) git-daemon.pdb '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(gitexec_instdir_SQ)' > $(INSTALL) git-fast-import.pdb '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(gitexec_instdir_SQ)' > @@ -2912,7 +2911,6 @@ ifdef MSVC > $(INSTALL) git-remote-http.pdb '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(gitexec_instdir_SQ)' > $(INSTALL) git-remote-testsvn.pdb '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(gitexec_instdir_SQ)' > $(INSTALL) git-sh-i18n--envsubst.pdb '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(gitexec_instdir_SQ)' > - $(INSTALL) git-show-index.pdb '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(gitexec_instdir_SQ)' > ifndef DEBUG > $(INSTALL) $(vcpkg_rel_bin)/*.dll '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(bindir_SQ)' > $(INSTALL) $(vcpkg_rel_bin)/*.pdb '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(bindir_SQ)' > -- > 2.28.0.573.gec6564704b > Thanks, Taylor
