Re: [PATCH] Fix use of hardlinks in "make install"

2008/8/28 Alex Riesen [off-list ref]:

The code tried to create a hardlink to the file ($execdir/git-add) it just
removed, so ln failed (but because stderr was redirected into /dev/null the
error was never seen), and the whole install ended up using "ln -s" instead.

It created endless symlink loops on cygwin, but obviously nowhere else.

Sh@#! Scrap that, there is something else going on in that cygwindows thing...
