Dscho? Hrm. We have this, specifically: ``` ifeq (,$(SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS)) ALL_COMMANDS_TO_INSTALL += $(BUILT_INS) else # git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack and git-upload-archive are special: they # are _expected_ to be present in the `bin/` directory in their dashed form. ALL_COMMANDS_TO_INSTALL += git-receive-pack$(X) ALL_COMMANDS_TO_INSTALL += git-upload-archive$(X) ALL_COMMANDS_TO_INSTALL += git-upload-pack$(X) endif ``` Will have a look, Dscho
