From: D Harithamma <harithamma.d@ibm.com>

Enable Git to resolve its own binary location using __getprogramdir and getprogname.

Since /proc is not a mandatory filesystem on z/OS, we cannot rely on the git_get_exec_path_procfs method to determine Git's executable path. To address this, we have implemented git_get_exec_path_zos, which resolves the executable path by extracting it from the current program's directory and filename.

It is a bit puzzling why this new thing is not added after the last existing one in the same family of "When using RUNTIME_PREFIX". Our usual convention to order things that have no inherent logical order among them is either to add the new one at the end or order them alphabetically. This comment applies to the other additions to an existing list (e.g. cascade of git_get_exec_$SYSTEM() calls in git_get_exec_path() function).

In any case, we should reorganize this section a bit to make it more obvious that the options from HAVE_BSD_KERN_PROC_SYSCTL to HAVE_WPGMPTR are the ones that affect how RUNTIME_PREFIX finds the program location, but that is outside the scope of this topic.

The remainder of the patch looked perfectly in line with the existing practice (except for where the new thing is added, which I already mentioned); I do not do zos so I'll have to take your word for the implementation of git_get_exec_path_zos(), though ;-)

The following shows how I would fix what I found annoying while studying the existing code to prepare this review. None of it should be part of this topic (even though it could become a preliminary clean-up step if we wanted to), but since I wrote it already, I'll record it here on the list as #leftoverbits.

Thanks.

I'll take your patch as-is and merge it down to 'next'.

Once the dust settles from this topic, I'll see if we want to do further clean-ups (the "how-about" patch below, possibly also reorder them alphabetically) so for now, I'd leave #leftoverbits mark here.
