Sorry... I misread the README... it does indeed say /usr/local/git, which is where the new binary was installed correctly. Eyes have been crossed by all of these software re-installations and terminal commands. :P Thanks. ~Ted On 2013-09-02, at 1:16 PM, Ted Wood <coolfactor@xxxxxxx> wrote: > > I've recently re-installed all of my MacPorts installations due to a third-party application corrupting my installation. Upon attempting to install git-core via MacPorts, it hangs on the "Building" stage, with no disk activity (clang process is active in Terminal). So, I attempted to download the .pkg install from git-scm.com. This Installer says the installation was complete, but Apple's outdated version of git (1.7.3) is still the active binary. > > Two observations: > 1) The README.txt file says that Git will be installed into /usr/local/bin > 2) The installation actually seems to be installed into /usr/bin, according to the installation log, which I have attached.
