Attached is my attempt at the same command "make prefix=/var/tmp/ggg clean all install"

make install failes for the templates directory, leading to the entire make install failing:

make -C templates DESTDIR='' install make[1]: Entering directory `/VMware/kernel/git/git/templates' : no custom templates yet install -d -m755 '/var/tmp/ggg/share/git-core/templates/' (cd blt && tar cf - .) | \ (cd '/var/tmp/ggg/share/git-core/templates/' && tar xf -) tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/VMware/kernel/git/git/templates' make: *** [install] Error 2
