When I ran "make" in msysGit's /git/, I was greeted by a pretty unfriendly

I have a patch in my private tree that removes the warning.
Actually I wouldn't mind the warning because it is only visible for
developers. Unfortunately, it is poison for gitk (you know, Tcl/Tk
treats any output on stderr as program failure...)
The real meat comes in patch 2/2:
The problem is that Windows will look in the current directory before
looking in the PATH when it tries to execute a program. So it will find
the executable C:\msysgit\git\git.exe and be unable to strip the suffices
"libexec/git-core" or "bin".
I just added "git" (which should not hurt other users, but instead help
them if they did not install Git but run it in-place).
This only silences the warning, but there is no guarantee that the
resulting git suite works because your msysgit developer may not have
installed stuff in C:\msysgit\libexec\git-core, yet. What the patch does
is exactly the same as if the compiled-in prefix that the warning
mentions were used, which in the msysgit case on your machine happens to
be C:\msysgit. Or am I missing something?
I think that the better solution is to remove the warning instead of
introducing this special case suffix "git".
