Subject: Does git belong in root's $PATH?
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0601070838470.6317@x2.ybpnyarg>

When updated my kernel this morning, the same way I've been doing
it for many months, I noticed that the -gxxxxxxx localversion
string was missing from the new kernel's name.

I finally figured out that this happened because /usr/local/bin
is not in my root's $PATH, and the setlocalversion script depends
on git.  (The only thing I do as root is 'make install').

I suppose I'm asking a philosophical question here:  do you
guys install git where root can find it (as a system tool)?
Does it really matter?  (The linux distribution I use is very
picky about what it includes in root's path...)

Thanks!
