Re: Bug: git-sh-setup giving no such file or directory

Hmm. Did you run "make install"? Or are you trying to run git directly
out of the build directory?

If the latter, that has been unsupported for a while, though it mostly
works. The "right" way is to either set up GIT_EXEC_PATH as appropriate,
or to just .../git/bin-wrappers into your $PATH.

This was the source of it. Root cause, a stupid user ;) I'd a PATH
setup to the build directory. Changing the path to bin-wrappers fixed
it up.

Thanks!

There appears to be an issue with the latest master.

"git submodule init" is producing the following error:

/home/paul.boyle/bin/git/git-sh-setup: line 46:
/home/paul.boyle/libexec/git-core/git-sh-i18n: No such file or

Checking out an older version works fine.

git checkout 'master@{2016-11-01 18:30:00}'

This can be reproduced simply by:

make clean ; make ; git submodule init


I didn't track it down further than to a commit sometime in the last month.

You could probably find the exact commit with git-bisect. However, I'd
be surprised if it is anything but 1073094f3 (git-sh-setup: be explicit
where to dot-source git-sh-i18n from., 2016-10-29). Before that commit,
we found git-sh-i18n in the $PATH, which would work if you were adding
git's build directory to your $PATH (but not work for people who
actually did an install).
