It works fine when you're installing off of a tar file because the
Makefile also generates a VERSION file, but when doing from a clone you
still need to generate it.
(plus minor fix to easy install, in the same area of code)
(as if we didn't already have enough programs with the word "install" in
their names!)
Anyway, this does what an RPM or a DEB would do -- basically implement
the instructions in Appendix C of doc/0.
You can use this to do a system-wide install if your distro isn't as
smart, forward-looking, and uptodate as Fedora ;-)
Clone the repo somewhere, cd to it, and run, for example:
sudo src/gl-system-install /usr/local/bin /var/gitolite/conf /var/gitolite/hooks
or something like that. See doc/0 for details. Run without arguments
for help.
