Your patch says it was generated by 1.7.0-rc1, but the change itself seems to be based on an older version. Curious.

How much would it hurt the distro packagers, if we don't take this patch before 1.7.0? If this would help a lot, let's give it a bit higher priority and make sure 1.7.0 ships with (a corrected version of) it; otherwise I'd say we should not merge this before 1.7.0.

I can understand that you didn't want to include the "included scriptlets" as part of ALL_PROGRAMS because $(INSTALL) may flip 'x' bit on.

But you should then be installing %(patsubst %.sh,%,$(SCRIPT_LIB_SH)); otherwise, you are installing git-sh-setup.sh and

    . git-sh-setup
would not work.  Have you ever tested this?

And this is even worse. You are removing the _source_ here. I can see you didn't even test the very basic: "make clean && make".

Likewise.

Wouldn't it make a bit more sense to do it like this instead? I at least did "make clean && make" ;-)

Subject: [PATCH] Do not install shell libraries executable

Some scripts are expected to be sourced instead of executed on their own. Avoid some confusion by not marking them executable.

The executable bit was confusing the valgrind support of our test scripts, which assumed that any executable without a #!-line should be intercepted and run through valgrind. So during valgrind-enabled tests, any script sourcing these files actually sourced the valgrind interception script instead.
