Hi,

I build git from sources and I have one small permissions issue that
(I think) should be fixed.

So I build it as described in INSTALL file
make prefix=/usr all
sudo make prefix=/usr install

Everything goes fine here and we have a new version of git installed
$ git --version
git version 1.6.0.1.285.g1070

But when I want to create a new repo, I have a fatal problem
$ git init
fatal: cannot copy /usr/share/git-core/templates/
hooks/applypatch-msg.sample to
/personal/sources/opensource/1/.git/hooks/applypatch-msg.sample


Because of the template files are readable only for root
$ ls -l /usr/share/git-core/templates/hooks/
total 44
-rwxr-x--- 1 root root  452 2008-08-29 11:04 applypatch-msg.sample
-rwxr-x--- 1 root root  894 2008-08-29 11:04 commit-msg.sample
-rwxr-x--- 1 root root  160 2008-08-29 11:04 post-commit.sample
-rwxr-x--- 1 root root  553 2008-08-29 11:04 post-receive.sample


I could fix the problem by running
$ sudo chmod a+r -R /usr/share/git-core/templates


But I think it should do 'make' when it installs git-core, isnt it?
