Subject: Re: pkg/42168: 1.6.4.1 on 4.0.1 success

I found building git 1.6.4.1 on NetBSD/i386 4.0.1 to be a fairly easy
thing. In off-list email, I was prompted to drop a note to this PR
reporting this.
Checking my git install, I find cd -P in only one place, that being
git-sh-setup. This might have caused trouble if I were trying to set
up a git repository on my machine, which I wasn't; while possibly a
problem, it did not lead to "a totally non-functional git".
Perhaps breaking setup is enough for dmcmahill to consider git totally
non-functional. Or perhaps this is a version difference.
