make install copies the script instead of symlinking the checkout (v0.2.2) - #17
Conversation
A symlink into the development checkout made every uncommitted edit live for every consumer on the machine. While the v0.2.1 refactor sat half-fixed on a branch between 18:19 and 18:31 PDT, a downstream project's pre-commit hook ran that script and its fixture's lock step failed once; the same job landed on rerun after the branch was committed. `install -m 0755` now puts a snapshot in $(PREFIX)/bin; re-run make install to upgrade. Version 0.2.2.

Replace the installed executable atomically. README.md documents re-running make install as the upgrade workflow, and git locks resolves the installed file from PATH. In the repository's Ubuntu environment, GNU install unlinks the existing destination before it opens the replacement. A concurrent invocation can therefore see $(PREFIX)/bin/git-locks missing or partially written.
Create the temporary file in $(PREFIX)/bin, install it with mode 0755, then rename it over the destination. Remove the temporary file if installation fails. A same-directory rename preserves the copy and permission contract while avoiding the replacement window.
