Build oddities

From: Michael <hidden>

Hi there,

I ran into a build oddity with git today - the environment variable $X is
appended to most binaries. At the time, I had X=last, so I ended up with
gitlast, git-peek-remotelast etc.

Does anyone know why this behaviour exists, and if it is still desired?

Best regards,
Michael

$X is to append .exe for Windows build so you would get git.exe,
git-peek-remote.exe... We should set X to empty from the beginning.
Patches are welcome.
