Re: bug: git-sh-setup should not be in $PATH

I'm still not sure if this has place in git. Is it really common to
support building outside source directory? If git didn't support this,
so what?

lots of serious tools support it, as it this comes automatically
when using automake. Eg. emacs, gcc, make, pango, lilypond, etc etc. 

It's a quite standard feature ; you should be asking why git 
shouldn't support it.

Another option is to make a special solution based on makefiles, so 
make is run inside the srcdir, but output shunted output to a 
separate objects/ subdirectory.  However, it's more work, and less 
standardized.
