[PATCH] Add DEST Makefile variable

[Matthias Urlichs]

This patch changes the Makefile to add a DEST variable (still defaulting
to ~/bin/) so that people (or scripts) can trivially install git
Somewhere Else.

Re: [PATCH] Add DEST Makefile variable

[Matthias Urlichs]

Hi,

Junio C Hamano:
 I sent essentially the same some time ago and got a comment to
 follow established naming convention.
 
Well, for a Makefile which installs in basically one directory, that
seems to be overkill.

 # DESTDIR=
 BINDIR=$(HOME)/bin
 install foobar $(DESTDIR)$(BINDIR)/
 
That doesn't make sense; if you set DESTDIR, you are not going to
install in $HOME.
