HOW TO INSTALL git-subtree
==========================

You simply need to copy the file 'git-subtree.sh' to where
the rest of the git scripts are stored.
First, build from the top source directory.

Then, in contrib/subtree, run:

make
make install
make install-doc

From the Git bash window just run:
If you used configure to do the main build the git-subtree build will
pick up those settings. If not, you will likely have to provide a
value for prefix:

install.sh
make prefix=<some dir>
make prefix=<some dir> install
make prefix=<some dir> install-doc

Or if you have the full Cygwin installed, you can use make:
To run tests first copy git-subtree to the main build area so the
newly-built git can find it:

make install
cp git-subtree ../..

That will make a 'git subtree' (note: space instead of dash) command
available. See the file git-subtree.txt for more.
Then:

You can also install the man page by doing:
make test

make doc
cp git-subtree.1 /usr/share/man/man1/
