Now it quite quiet. I tried top show every installed file, but it
wasn't an improvement at all so I decided to just show what's being
done.

I agree that the long single line that installs the commands to $(bindir)
may be somewhat annoying.

Cleaning up compilation step is one thing; by tidying up the
output it makes compiler warnings stand out.

But I do not like playing games like this in general in
installation rule.  An excerpt from your patch:

+	@echo installing programs
+	$(QUIET)$(foreach p,$(BUILT_INS), rm -f ...

This would not even let you see what got installed.  At least,
less verbose compilation step we have these days lets you see
what is being built.  I certainly would not object if the output
would look like this, though:

	CC builtin-cat-file.o
        ...
        GEN git-add--interactive
        ...
        LINK git-http-push
        ...
        BUILTIN git-add
        ...
	MKDIR -p /usr/local/bin
        INSTALL git-foo
        INSTALL git-bar
	...
        INSTALL templates/description
        INSTALL templates/hooks/post-update
        ...
