[PATCH] git-compat-util: work around for access(X_OK) under root

On some OSes like AIX, access with X_OK is always true if launched under root. Add NEED_ACCESS_ROOT_HANDLER in order to use an access helper function. It checks with stat if any executable flags is set when the current user is root. Signed-off-by: Clément Chigot --- Makefile | 8 ++

[PATCH v3] git-compat-util: work around for access(X_OK) under root
