Would people agree with a rough roadmap like this?
- v1.5.4 will ship with gitexecdir=$(bindir) in Makefile. But the
release notes for the version will warn users that:
(1) using git-foo from the command line, and
(2) using git-foo from your scripts without first prepending the
return value of "git --exec-path" to the PATH
is now officially deprecated (it has been deprecated for a long time
since January 2006, v1.2.0~149) and upcoming v1.5.5 will ship with
the default configuration that does not install git-foo form in
user's PATH.
- Post v1.5.4, start cooking gitexecdir=$(libexecdir)/git-core, aiming
for inclusion in v1.5.5, perhaps in Mar-Feb 2008 timeframe.
- The release notes for v1.5.5 will warn users that git-foo will be
removed in v1.6.0 for many commands and it will be merely an accident
if some of them still work.
- Post v1.5.5, start cooking the change that does not install hardlinks
for built-in commands, aiming for inclusion in v1.6.0, by the end of
2008.
So long as there remains the option in the Makefile to install the
"dashed" commands in $(bindir) for those of us that wish it.
