Using the latest git on "make prefix=/home/eschvoca/apps/git-0.99.9m
install" I get the following error:
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/eschvoca/downloads/git-0.99.9m/templates'
: no custom templates yet
install -d -m755 '/home/eschvoca/share/git-core/templates/'
(cd blt && tar cf - .) | \
(cd '/home/eschvoca/share/git-core/templates/' && tar xf -)
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
I can fix the problem by changing templates/Makefile to the following:
install: all
$(INSTALL) -d -m755 $(call shellquote,$(DESTDIR)$(template_dir))
(cd blt && $(TAR) cf - . > /tmp/a.tar) | \
(cd $(call shellquote,$(DESTDIR)$(template_dir)) && $(TAR) xf /tmp/a.tar)

Here is my guess. Could you try, from your interactive shell:
$ (unset CDPATH; make install)
first without the above "fix" (your "fixed" pipe does not make
any sense --- what are the data passed between pipe upstream and
downstream?)?
If that makes the problem go away, then your environment is
broken --- my guess is that you are exporting CDPATH to
non-interactive scripts. Don't do that.
I once googled for "CDPATH" and saw many "guide to unix" type
webpages talk about "CDPATH environment variable"; they are the
real culprit to cause this confusion in peoples' .bash_profile.
CDPATH might be a nice variable for interactive shells, but is a
horrible one if made environment.
You are right, CDPATH is the problem. I am no longer exporting CDPATH.
