Attached is my attempt at the same command "make prefix=/var/tmp/ggg clean
all install"

make install failes for the templates directory, leading to the entire make
install failing:

make -C templates DESTDIR='' install
make[1]: Entering directory `/VMware/kernel/git/git/templates'
: no custom templates yet
install -d -m755 '/var/tmp/ggg/share/git-core/templates/'
(cd blt && tar cf - .) | \
(cd '/var/tmp/ggg/share/git-core/templates/' && tar xf -)
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/VMware/kernel/git/git/templates'
make: *** [install] Error 2

Thanks

I have a feeling that you have CDPATH exported to the
environment, which is a braindamage.  It is a fine usability
helper for interactive shells so I do not have problem with
people setting that in shell as shell variables, though.

In other words, never do "export CDPATH=..." nor "export CDPATH".
