I vote for Universal builds.  I don't think anyone downloading a DMG
will care between 6M and 9M - it's still smaller than most YouTube
videos.  Then I can just have people choose their OS version and
auto-download whatever the latest build is.

Also, fwiw, though this is the first you may have heard about it, I've
personally had probably 5 or 6 people approach me at conferences and
trainings and complain about it - or email me as the maintainer of the
git-scm page to complain.  I probably should have brought it up
sooner, but I've just been so happy you've been doing the builds at
all, I didn't want to complain :)
