Message-ID: <ff7e8121d7a47e318954c2c115f281b56f8be21f.1617021705.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <pull.887.v2.git.1617021705.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

Just like the Makefile-based build learned to skip hard-linking the dashed built-ins in 179227d6e21 (Optionally skip linking/copying the built-ins, 2020-09-21), this patch teaches the CMake-based build the same trick.

Note: In contrast to the Makefile-based process, the built-ins would
only be linked during installation, not already when Git is built.
Therefore, the CMake-based build that we use in our CI builds _already_
does not link those built-ins (because the files are not installed
anywhere, they are used to run the test suite in-place).
