Template files location

Dear diary, on Fri, Aug 05, 2005 at 06:37:11AM CEST, I got a letter
where Junio C Hamano [off-list ref] told me that...

We install files in $(HOME)/etc/git-core/templates/ directory.

In the standard binary distribution scheme, it should probably
go to either /usr/share or /etc; the former if the distribution
prefers static boilerplate files in /usr/share, latter if we
consider them site-specific conffiles.  I just discussed this
privately with a Debian person on the list today, and we are in
favor of installing it under /usr/share/git-core/templates,
because we do not expect the contents of the standard templates
directory will not be a per-site customization [*1*].

In any case, this means that the make drivers like spec.in and
debian/rules would need to override some make variables when
they invoke the main Makefile.

Any reason why that's not the default destination then?

Or you can try /etc/git-core/ and fall back to /usr/share/git-core :-)
