windows: skip linking git-<command> for built-ins
It is merely a historical wart that, say, `git-commit` exists in the `libexec/git-core/` directory, a tribute to the original idea to let Git be essentially a bunch of Unix shell scripts revolving around very few "plumbing" (AKA low-level) commands. Git has evolved a lot from there. These days, most of Git's functionality is contained within the `git` executable, in the form of "built-in" commands. To accommodate for scripts that use the "dashed" form of Git commands, even today, Git provides hard-links that make the `git` executable available as, say, `git-commit`, just in case that an old script has not been updated to invoke `git commit`. Those hard-links do not come cheap: they take about half a minute for every build of Git on Windows, they are mistaken for taking up huge amounts of space by some Windows Explorer versions that do not understand hard-links, and therefore many a "bug" report had to be addressed. The "dashed form" has been officially deprecated in Git version 1.5.4, which was released on February 2nd, 2008, i.e. a very long time ago. This deprecation was never finalized by skipping these hard-links, but we can start the process now, in Git for Windows. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
