This should use the path given as the --sysconfdir argument to configure. If the configure result is not available, it should default to $prefix/etc/ It should be possible to install private copy of Git without being affected by system wide defaults. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanwen@xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
