Re: [PATCH v6 0/3] RUNTIME_PREFIX relocatable Git

Dan Jacques [off-list ref] writes:

This patch set expands support for the RUNTIME_PREFIX configuration flag,
currently only used on Windows builds, to include Linux, Darwin, and
FreeBSD. When Git is built with RUNTIME_PREFIX enabled, it resolves its
ancillary paths relative to the runtime location of its executable
rather than hard-coding them at compile-time, allowing a Git
installation to be deployed to a path other than the one in which it
was built/installed.

Note that RUNTIME_PREFIX is not currently used outside of Windows.
This patch set should not have an impact on default Git builds.

I'm dusting this back off now that avarab@'s Perl Makefile simplification
patch set has landed. It's been a few months, so I'm a bit rusty, but I think
that I've incorporated all of the feedback. Please take a look and let me know
what you think!

Yay.  Thanks for rebooting the effort.
