When I tried that, make spits out this:

GIT_VERSION = 1.4.4.ge1173-dirty
     * new build flags or prefix
(cd perl && /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL \
         PREFIX='/home/b04825')
Writing Makefile for Git

So I tried this:

make configure
./configure --prefix=$PWD
make

and got this:

     * new build flags or prefix
(cd perl && /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL \
         PREFIX='/temp/git')
Writing Makefile for Git

which is better, but git-clone still doesn't work:

$ ./git clone --depth 1 git://127.0.0.1/temp/u-boot-83xx
Failed to run command 'clone': Success

$ ./git-clone --depth 1 git://127.0.0.1/temp/u-boot-83xx
usage: git-fetch-pack [--all] [-q] [-v] [-k] [--thin] [--exec=upload-pack] 
[host:]directory <refs>...
fetch-pack from 'git://127.0.0.1/temp/u-boot-83xx' failed.

In both of these cases, the git-daemon process doesn't log anything.

I even tried "export GIT_DIR=$PWD", but that didn't do anything.
