Hi,

You mean

	This target allows you to have git installed in one location,
	and have symbolic links to all of the programs installed in 
	another	location.  For example, if git was installed to /opt/git

		make prefix=/opt/git install

	you can install symbolic links in /usr/local/bin with

		make symlinkprefix=/usr/local prefix=/opt/git \
			install-symlinks

Hmm.  Why not install it with a proper package manager in the correct 
place to begin with?  Somehow I find so many symbolic links ugly.

Ciao,
