The code tried to create a hardlink to the file ($execdir/git-add) it just
removed, so ln failed (but because stderr was redirected into /dev/null the
error was never seen), and the whole install ended up using "ln -s" instead.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix use of hardlinks in "make install"
The code tried to create a hardlink to the file ($execdir/git-add) it just
removed, so ln failed (but because stderr was redirected into /dev/null the
error was never seen), and the whole install ended up using "ln -s" instead.
