compile git

Hello dear list,

I had problems installing and using git, and I noticed it will be 
compiled twice following the book.

"make" compiles for the first time; then during "make install" it 
notices the "make" parameters have changed (caused by the override 
command "perllibdir=..." and it compiles again - unnecessarily so. A 
possible remedy would be to give the "perllibdir=..." argument to the 
first "make" invocation as well.

When doing the actual "make install" it will use the home directory of 
the user as installation prefix, i.e. after "make install" I had new 
directories "/root/bin", "/root/share" and "/root/libexec". This is 
caused by a default setting of "prefix = $(HOME)" in the Makefile. This 
is not overridden by using "./configure --prefix=/usr". The "make 
install" invocation explicitly needs an additional override of 
"prefix=/usr" to successfully inject this into the Makefile. 
Alternatively after running "configure" we could change that line in the 
Makefile with e.g. a "sed" command.

Moreover git complains about certificates, and a solution to that would 
be setting the CA definition with a git command.

git config --global http.sslcainfo=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

Stay healthy,
Thomas
