[PATCH] Install templates with the user and group of the installing personality

Johannes Sixt· Aug 20, 2008, 15:36 UTC · lore

If 'make install' was run with sufficient privileges, then the installed templates, which are copied using 'tar', would receive the user and group of whoever built git. This instructs 'tar' to ignore the user and group that are recorded in the archive.

 I hope this tar option 'o' is universal enough. Even my ancient AIX 4.3.3
 box has it.

The oldest thing I have is Solaris 5.8, which also has it.
