how to test changes?
Hello,
I wonder if there is a simpler way to test changes to git than installing it. My problem is that even if I run
~/gsrc/git/git-fetch.sh --option
e.g. git-parse-remote is taken from ~/usr/bin/git-parse-remote.
Did I miss something?
Best regards
Uwe

Look at the INSTALL file:
GIT_EXEC_PATH=`pwd` PATH=`pwd`:$PATH GITPERLLIB=`pwd`/perl/blib/lib export GIT_EXEC_PATH PATH GITPERLLIB
I use this trick all of the time to run git in-place for testing in various weird repositories.

Thanks, that's what I searched for.
While reading INSTALL, I noticed the following

Delete the now untrue statement that the git wrapper isn't used by the core
Some time ago most (if not all) calls use the wrapper to allow moving some commands from PATH to execdir.
