Re: [PATCH v8 0/5] RUNTIME_PREFIX relocatable Git

Dan Jacques [off-list ref] writes:

This is a minor update based on comments from the v6 series.
I'm hoping this set is good to go!

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.

Changes in v8 from v7:

- Add Johannes's Windows patch series to the end (see v7 thread).

Wonderful.  That gives me one less separate topic to worry about ;-)

- Fix more typos and formatting nits.
- Rebased on top of "master".
