+ With the default Makefile settings, most of the programs are now
+ installed outside your $PATH, except for "git", "gitk" and
+ some server side programs that need to be accessible for technical
+ reasons. Invoking a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command
+ line has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in
+ 1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding
+ output from "git --exec-path" to the $PATH is still supported in this
+ release, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their
+ scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing
+ "git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases.
