Add NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS support to the Makefile
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When the installed programs are tar'ed up and installed on a system where
bin/ and libexec/git-core/ live on different file systems, we do not want
libexec/git-core/git-* to be hardlinks to bin/git.

Noticed by Cedric Staniewski.
