I take it to mean that you do not mind building but would want
to try it out before installing.
Yes, that is similar to what I meant by "robustness". Maybe we
could do two things to make it palatable:
* Instead of $src/templates/Makefile installing in place, give
it a real 'build' target that creates $src/templates/blt/
hierarchy and build things there (I expect we would need some
templates that needs installation specific customization
later, and really want to avoid making $src/templates
something that is copied straight out). "make install" would
copy it out to the final destination.
* Make git-init-db create an absolute minimum $GIT_DIR
structure itself, if the template directory is not available,
possibly with a warning.
Then, your post-build pre-installation trial can go like this:
$ make
$ PATH=`pwd`:"$PATH"
$ GIT_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY=`pwd`/templates/blt
$ export PATH GIT_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY
$ cd /where/ever
$ git-init-db
