Re: [BUG] Failed to make install-info

I personally feel that calling "install-info" is a bit too distro-ish
and should not be done in our Makefile vanilla build-and-install
procedure.

Hmmm...  That's an interesting take on things
given the top of the INSTALL file:

		    Git installation

    Normally you can just do "make" followed by "make install", and that
    will install the git programs in your own ~/bin/ directory.  If you want
    to do a global install, you can do

	    $ make prefix=/usr all doc info ;# as yourself
	    # make prefix=/usr install install-doc install-info ;# as root

I was not talking about install-info target that copies generated *.info
files to $(DESTDIR)$(infodir)/.  That does not sound distro-ish at all
to me.

What I found questionable was $(INSTALL_INFO) invocation in that target
in the Makefile.
