 With a recent update to refuse access to repositories of other
 people by default, "sudo make install" and "sudo git describe"
 stopped working.  This series intends to loosen it while keeping
 the safety.

 Will merge to 'next'?

I am obviously biased, and probably confused, since this is already in the
"cooking" section, but I think this is ready and should be merged to next
without the optional patch 4.

I agree that #4 may be subject to further discussion, but the other
three are solid enough.  Let's merge it down.

Thanks.
