Running "make" in contrib/subtree no longer creates the git-subtree executable:

$ git describe v2.1.0 $ make -C contrib/subtree /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make -C ../../ GIT-VERSION-FILE GIT_VERSION = 2.1.0 make[1]: `GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date. /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make -C ../../ GIT-VERSION-FILE make[1]: `GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date. make: `../../GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date. $ ls contrib/subtree/git-subtree ls: contrib/subtree/git-subtree: No such file or directory

The change appears to be inadvertent. I bisected it to 8e2a5ccad11bc21eb72499133bc884024e299983 ("contrib/subtree/Makefile: use GIT-VERSION-FILE").

This was reproduced on OS X 10.9 with GNU make 3.81.
