I have the attached patch queued for about 36 hours already, but I ended up wasting a lot of time fixing other people's bugs last night and haven't had a chance to push out the result yet. I think using mkdir in blt/ area is fine, but I have doubts about not using $(INSTALL), which is designed to be a standard "marker" in Makefiles and meant to be replaceable on deficient platforms, for installing to real final destination directories. IOW, I do not think the last hunk in your patch is a good idea. >From 96cda0b1067b4b5a2f87785cc49e1e648d68ae1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2008 19:31:50 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] templates/Makefile: install is unnecessary, just use mkdir -p The native install on some platforms (namely IRIX 6.5) treats non-absolute paths as being relative to the root directory rather than relative to the current directory. Work around this by avoiding install in this case since it is unnecessary, and instead depend on the local umask setting and use mkdir.
