So, like, the other day Junio C Hamano mumbled:

Hmmm... That's an interesting take on things
given the top of the INSTALL file:
Git installation
Normally you can just do "make" followed by "make install", and that
will install the git programs in your own ~/bin/ directory. If you want
to do a global install, you can do
$ make prefix=/usr all doc info ;# as yourself
# make prefix=/usr install install-doc install-info ;# as root
Granted, it's the first time I've actually tried
to install the docs on this (debian) machine too.
I've normally just read them straight out of the
doc directory. :-)
But I will have to agree with you on the problems
surrounding the One Install to Rule Them All (and
in the darkness bind9 them).
