Actually, this is acceptable since I set gitexecdir to $(bindir) in my

make invocation.
*BUT* the recent discussion of not creating the hardlinks in

git/core/libexec, introducing obnoxious warnings when using the dashed

forms, and eventually having the git binary error when invoked as a

dashed command is NOT acceptable. The discussion that happened in

November and December 2006 was only about about moving the executables

out of /usr/bin, not the completely disabling of the dashed forms for

those users and distributions that want them.
