I think this series has a bug with finding the correct templates dir. If
I check out 76ebce0b7a (Merge branch 'en/header-split-cache-h-part-3'
into next, 2023-06-15) and run:
make prefix=/tmp/foo install && /tmp/foo/bin/git init /tmp/bar
I get:
warning: templates not found in /usr/share/git-core/templates
Whereas if I go to 76ebce0b7a^, that warning does not appear (and
presumably the templates come from /tmp/foo/share, but I didn't check).
Our tests can't notice because they always specify the in-repo template
dir directly in the bin-wrappers script (and other users might not even
get the warning if they have another git installed in /usr; it would
just silently use the wrong template).
Side note: I'm using the merge along 'next' there because much to my
surprise, the tip of en/header-split-cache-h-part-3 does not build by
itself! It needs the evil merge result from ccd12a3d6c (Merge branch
'en/header-split-cache-h-part-2', 2023-05-09). I wonder if it got
applied on the wrong base. It does work when merged to 'next' (and
should with 'master' as well), but it hurts bisectability.
After rebasing on 'master' to make it buildable on its own, I bisected
my make/init command above, which shows the template problem appearing
in 3f85c72fad (setup: adopt shared init-db & clone code, 2023-05-16).
I guess the problem is the movement of the code from init-db.c to
setup.c, and we'd want something like this:
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index e440728c24..b09c8165d0 100644

It does make me wonder if we should also just do this:

Since the Makefile always provides that value, having a baked-in
fallback does not make much sense. And in this case it masked a real bug
which should have been a compilation error, and instead silently used
the wrong value.
So I think we'd at least want to fix the Makefile before graduating this
topic any further. But IMHO it would also be worth adjusting the topic's
start point so that we don't have a big chunk of commits which fail to
build in the final history.
