01ae841ccf SunOS grep does not understand -C<n> nor -e
The first "grep -C1" test in t7002 does not pass on my SunOS-5.11-i86pc,
and that is not because our way to spawn external grep is broken, but
because the native grep does not understand -C<n>.

It turns out that Peff was also using this option himself because our
Makefile doesn't do that automatically.  Brandon Casey uses SUNWspro
compiler without having to set this, and it turns out that the compiler
does not define preprocessor macro __unix__ which made him always use the
built-in grep, never an external one.

Let's be more explicit and say that we do not use external grep on Suns.

Commit 003b33a8 recently added a call to basename().  On IRIX 6.5, this

6edd14968b Makefile: keep "git" when bindir is execdir
For some reason there still are people who use the old style layout
to put everything in $(bindir).  The previous commit breaks the install
for them, because it tries to unconditionally remove git from execdir
and cp/ln from bindir --- oops.

4ecbc17870 Makefile: install 'git' in execdir
When a git command executes a subcommand, it uses the "git
foo" form, which relies on finding "git" in the PATH.
Normally this should not be a problem, since the same "git"
that was used to invoke git in the first place will be
found.  And if somebody invokes a "git" outside of the PATH
(e.g., by giving its absolute path), this case is already
covered: we put that absolute path onto the front of PATH.

However, if one is using "sudo", then sudo will execute the
"git" from the PATH, but pass along a restricted PATH that
may not contain the original "git" directory. In this case,
executing a subcommand will fail.

To solve this, we put the "git" wrapper itself into the
execdir; this directory is prepended to the PATH when git
starts, so the wrapper will always be found.

61dbb3c441 Makefile: insert SANE_TOOL_PATH to PATH before /bin or /usr/bin
In an earlier patch, we introduced SANE_TOOL_PATH that is prepended to
user's PATH.  This had an unintended consequence of overriding user's
private binary directory that typically comes earlier in the PATH to holds
even saner commands than whatever comes with the system.

For example, a user may have ~/bin that is early in the path and contains
a shell script "vi" that launches system's /bin/vi with specific options.
Prepending SANE_TOOL_PATH to the PATH that happens to have "vi" in it
defeats such customization.

This fixes the issue by inserting SANE_TOOL_PATH just before /bin or
/usr/bin appears on the PATH.

This commit changes handling of the msysgit specific settings, so
that they can be applied to official git.git.  Some msysgit
settings differ from the standard MinGW settings.  We move them
into an ifndef block that is only evaluated if a file
THIS_IS_MSYSGIT is present in the parent directory, which is the
case for an msysgit working environment.  The tag file is unlikely
to be present accidentally.

0e0aea5a47 Makefile: introduce SANE_TOOL_PATH for prepending required elements to PATH
Some platforms (like SunOS and family) have kept their common binaries at
some historical moment in time, and introduced new binaries with modern
features in a special location like /usr/xpg4/bin or /usr/ucb.  Some of the
features provided by these modern binaries are expected and required by git.
If the featureful binaries are not in the users path, then git could end up
using the less featureful binary and fail.

So provide a mechanism to prepend elements to the users PATH at runtime so
the modern binaries will be found.

While at it, we also remove the sed instruction in the Makefile that

fe4a9c36a3 Add semicolon to curly brace group in main Makefile
This semicolon is technically required by POSIX shell and indeed causes a
syntax error with e.g. bash-2.04.0.  Cf.

be66a6c43d Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliable
It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC)
has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away,
the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs.

It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping
through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly.

As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work
around it in Git.

At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to
assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

5be3b17f09 Makefile: ignore perl/ subdirectory under NO_PERL
The install target still descends into perl subdirectory when NO_PERL is
requested.  Fix this.

34779c535c Windows: Skip fstat/lstat optimization in write_entry()
Commit e4c72923 (write_entry(): use fstat() instead of lstat() when file
is open, 2009-02-09) introduced an optimization of write_entry().
Unfortunately, we cannot take advantage of this optimization on Windows
because there is no guarantee that the time stamps are updated before the
file is closed:

  "The only guarantee about a file timestamp is that the file time is
   correctly reflected when the handle that makes the change is closed."

(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724290(VS.85).aspx)

The failure of this optimization on Windows can be observed most easily by
running a 'git checkout' that has to update several large files. In this
case, 'git checkout' will report modified files, but infact only the
timestamps were incorrectly recorded in the index, as can be verified by a
subsequent 'git diff', which shows no change.

Dmitry Potapov reports the same fix needs on Cygwin; this commit contains
his updates for that.
