From c52e84135e6272d008f69a9ac00265875ff4e60e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lars Hjemli Date: Sun, 4 Feb 2007 23:57:34 +0100 Subject: Add support for prefix and gitsrc arguments to 'make' This should improve the installation a little, especially since the new options are mentioned in the README. Also, add a make-rule to build the git binaries if necessary + a dependency between cgit and libgit.a.
