Subject: Do not install backward compatibility links anymore.
X-Git-Tag: v0.99.9b^2~4
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=319f8b3da6858f78282de9483be7b27b4bb1ffba;p=git.git

Do not install backward compatibility links anymore.

This is a companion patch to 4f9dcf7e5cf6c82455925102d315daf3b833e6d6
which stops mentioning the old command names.  As promised, we do not
install symlinks to let people use backward compatibility names anymore.

cmd-rename.sh script is still shipped to help people who installed
previous git by hand to clean up the leftover symlinks.
