Hi!

I was trying to reproduce some error in gnulib's syntax-check, and faced a few issues.

My builddirs are in a separate tree, with symlinks from the src tree to them.  So running git from builddir will never work.

There are other errors, that I was not addressed.

error_quotes
env.c:337:                                     " error at: %s"), str);
ls.c:2780:                          _("error canonicalizing %s"), name);
ls.c:3199:                          _("error canonicalizing %s"), full_name);
maint.mk: Use quote() for error string arguments


Cheers!
