With default Makefile settings, most of the programs are now installed
outside your $PATH, except for "git", "gitk", "git-gui" and some server
side programs that needs to be accessible when connecting over ssh.
When talking to remote repository over ssh, necessary server side programs
are now invoked with "git $program" notation, not with "git-$program"
notation. This should work with both servers running older git where you
had all of these programs installed on $PATH, or newer git where you have
only "git" on $PATH. However, if the remote side is running a custom
software that restricts programs you can run over ssh, it might cause
problems. Use --upload-pack="git-upload-pack" (when using ls-remote,
fetch and pull on the client side), --receive-pack="git-receive-pack"
(when using push on the client side), or --exec="git-upload-archive" (when
using git-archive) as appropriate when talking to such a remote.
With the default Makefile settings, most of the programs are now
installed outside your $PATH, except for "git", "gitk", "git-gui" and
some server side programs that need to be accessible for technical
reasons. Invoking a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command
line has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in
1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding
output from "git --exec-path" to the $PATH is still supported in this
release, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their
scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing
"git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases.
Source changes needed for porting to MinGW environment are now all in the
main git.git codebase.
