-When talking to remote repository over ssh, necessary server side programs
15
-are now invoked with "git $program" notation, not with "git-$program"
16
-notation. This should work with both servers running older git where you
17
-had all of these programs installed on $PATH, or newer git where you have
18
-only "git" on $PATH. However, if the remote side is running a custom
19
-software that restricts programs you can run over ssh, it might cause
20
-problems. Use --upload-pack="git-upload-pack" (when using ls-remote,
21
-fetch and pull on the client side), --receive-pack="git-receive-pack"
22
-(when using push on the client side), or --exec="git-upload-archive" (when
23
-using git-archive) as appropriate when talking to such a remote.

+With the default Makefile settings, most of the programs are now
11
+installed outside your $PATH, except for "git", "gitk", "git-gui" and
12
+some server side programs that need to be accessible for technical
13
+reasons. Invoking a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command
14
+line has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in
15
+1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding
16
+output from "git --exec-path" to the $PATH is still supported in this
17
+release, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their
18
+scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing
19
+"git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases.
