Git building is borked

Hi,

I am trying to build git on my Mac Book Pro running OSX Tiger 10.4.8 and I have run into a problem...

[snip lots of successful output]
make -C git-gui all
GITGUI_VERSION = 0.6.GITGUI
    GEN CREDITS-FILE
error: Cannot locate authorship information.
make[1]: *** [CREDITS-FILE] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

Looking at the CREDITS-GEN script it runs git for all sorts of evil purposes thus it appears that in order to build and install git one has to already got installed git!

That seems terminally flawed/broken to me...

So how do I get git installed in the first place on my OSX box?!?

Best regards,

	Anton
