[PATCH] Allow installing in the traditional way

In an earlier commit c70a8d9 (Makefile: Do not install a copy of 'git' in $(gitexecdir), 2008-07-21), we tried to avoid installing two git, one in /usr/bin/git and the other in /usr/libexec/git-core/git. It mistakenly removed the only copy of git when gitexecdir and bindir are set to the same directory, i.e. the traditional layout.
