Its fine. I'm going with the EPEL repo to start and learn from. If this
can be upgraded in the near future that would be dandy. If not, I
should have a handle on maintaining a repository by then and be able to
build the latest and greatest myself. Because of my inexperience with
maintaining this type of technology, I didn't realize the projectroot
was not consistent throughout the documentation. Had I known, I
would've had an easier time, but doubt I'd have a working server up by
now. Not that I have a working server up right now, but I'm getting
closer than I was yesterday. If I have any questions I will be sure to
ask and when I understand more, hopefully I'll be able to contribute
better documentation myself as to where the original led me astray.
Thanks again for following up. I'm sure you'll hear from me again if
you don't mind.

Alright, I'm going with the Fedora EPEL repositories. But last I
checked the latest version available via that method was 1.5.x. Since
this is a server, I preferred to use the latest and greatest so to last
in the long run from any major patches or cover any major upgrades, but
if that's the version that's preferred, who am I to argue. One problem
I recall in yum'ing the install for git however was the man pages
weren't installed either. I could be wrong however. I'll keep you guys
up to date. Wish me luck! Thanks for all your help and the timely
responses.
The stuff in EPEL is a bit older, I should have words with whoever is
maintaining those to see if we can get those upgraded. There really
isn't any reason those should be lagging that much.
This is however why I suggested just recompiling the rpms present on
kernel.org, which would get you the latest and greatest and not,
completely, push you into maintaining the packages on your own.
Also, is there how-tos you'd suggest I use in setting up the git/gitweb
combo with the yum install? I noticed yum installs files in different
locations then the source does. Thanks again!
They install into different locations though the instructions should be
relatively straight forward.

is the official documentation, but a quick glance at it shows that it
doesn't stay consistent on where the the document root is. If you have
problems give me a holler and I'll throw up how I have it configured at
kernel.org on the kernel.org wiki as a reference point for people to a
specific installation.
