Last time I checked git did not build on HP-UX (11.11) out of the box because its 'install' did not support -d nor -m. There are a few more issues installed here:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/cgi-bin/wwwtar?/hpux/Development/Tools/git-1.5.6.2/git-1.5.6.2-src-11.11.tar.gz+git-1.5.6.2/HPUX.Install+text
So I think the word "we support" is a bit too strong. ;-)
Being more constructive, what a user using HP-UX is supported to do?
1) Use the patched git from HP.
2) Have coreutils installed. (But then I think it would be good to list
this dependency in INSTALL.)
3) Patch git to use automake's install-sh. (Would such a patch be ever
accepted?)
Thanks.
PS: No, I rarely use git on HP-UX, but I would be happy to bring the
equivalent of HP's most changes to git.git if possible.
