Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/4] Use $(SHELL_PATH) instead of sh in Makefile.
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2020 18:04:31 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAFMepc=ZGyp=bZRdSkEsrtPCq70+U1amv3OoBk0QMbiwb4W8dA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <xmqqeeojlm1s.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com>

After a moment's thought I decided to run ape/psh before building git.
If so then, sh will be found from the directories named in PATH
because it is mounted onto /bin.
