Re: Question about installing git from source

install -d -m 755 '/usr/bin'
Copying scripts to /usr/bin

As 'git grep "Copying scripts"' gives us nothing, the message is
obviously not what we are giving.  Perhaps you have a strange "install"
in your path that does not understand "-d" is a way to tell it to
make sure a directory exists (by creating one as necessary)?

I looked at Makefile, and seems that it occurs from here:
https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Makefile#L2205

It tries to copy all files/folders from git root directory but
'install' command prints this error. I tried to execute 'sudo install
-d -m 755' in other directory and if there is directory too it prints
the same error. For example:

~/scripts $ ls
addPPA    cleanMailTrash  git-autor    git-ranges       git-tp
            install     scripts    ssh-live       term-help  tp-git
    updateMail  xray-start
buildGit  deployWork      git-install  git-remove-tags
git-update-commit-message  install.sh  ssh-build  ssh-wiwob-lab  test
     updateGitDev  updateNews

test - is directory here

~/scripts $ sudo install -d -m 755 .
Copying scripts to /usr/bin
cp: omitting directory ‘test’
Done
