As promised, here is the patch to fix the regression caused by commit 837f637cf5 ("meson.build: correct setting of GIT_EXEC_PATH", 2025-05-19).
I compared the meson and corresponding make installations, which shows (in addition to fixing the regression):
- the make install includes 'gitk' and 'git-gui' which is
missing from the meson install. - the make install includes all of the 'builtin' commands
in the 'library executables' (e.g. git-add), which the
meson install omits. (I thought we had stopped 'installing'
the builtins). - the make install uses hard links whereas meson uses symbolic
links.- meson omits the Irish translation (see patch #2).
I noticed some other problems, which I was chasing to see if I could fix them here, but it was taking me down an unexpectedly deep rabit hole, so ...
ATB, Ramsay Jones
