Re: [POOL] Who likes running Git without make install?

That's fixed in ancient past in git timescale.  Why are you
bringing it up again? ;-)

Because, it is, well, not fixed? ;-) (Apparently.)

I remember myself getting utterly discusted when I saw the
inclusion of the build-time blib directory in the search path in
some other Perl code outside git.

Well, yes, it is ugly, but it was really cool that we could have used
Git without installing it anywhere.

But perhaps that's just me refusing to break his old ways of doing
things. Does anyone else care about it? (And why?)

Well, for a quick test to see if I haven't broken anything, I
use a new shell and do ". ./+denv" in my git repository where
that file has something like this:

        $ cat ./+denv
        :

        GIT_EXEC_PATH=`pwd`
        PATH=`pwd`:/usr/bin:/bin

        export GIT_EXEC_PATH PATH

So to a certain degree, yes I do care.

But it is currently broken:

xpasky@machine[0:0]~/git-pb$ rm -rf /home/xpasky/lib/perl5/
xpasky@machine[0:0]~/git-pb$ ./git-mv
Can't locate Git.pm in @INC (...)

(And I can't see any change that could aim to fix it.)
