I'm not using root.
There's a special user account which has ~/ovirt-engine including the
git repo inside.
So the prefix is the same as the git repo and removing it removes git...
So you are using PREFIX, there is no other way to avoid installing into /usr/local which
this user has no permission to write into.
$ make install-dev
<snip>
install: cannot change permissions of ‘/usr/local/etc/’: No such file or directory
install: cannot create directory ‘/usr/local/etc’: Permission denied
make[2]: *** [copy-recursive] Error 1
and using mixed git and PREFIX is highly not recommended as you do not know which files
are being touched, make install-dev may actually overwrite your sources.
