Hello,
I just finished building and installing git on my Android device.
After testing, I'd like to build it in such a way that I can tarball
and upload/send it.  Are there any make targets that would allow me to
do that or do I need to rebuild with the NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS
option and install to a stage directory...like /usr/git or
/usr/local/git?

Many thanks in advance.

MLO

PS: I'm somewhat new to linux-based systems in general and the make
system in particular; obvious follow-up questions may be asked
