Hi all. I'm trying to create a relocatable installation of Git 2.9.2, so I can copy it anywhere and it continues to run without any problem. This is on GNU/Linux systems, FWIW.I had an impression that the setting was only to support MS Windows.
Hm. You may be right. If so that's too bad, because a relocatable Git
is very handy even on UNIX systems. Is there a reason for invoking the
subcommands by providing the plain command ("fetch", "merge-base") as
argv[0], rather than giving the fully-qualified path to a Git command?
