Unfortunately I don't think this will quite solve the issue we had, just because people get their copy of Git in various ways. So Homebrew updated pretty promptly, but people going to git-scm.com to find a binary package were left without help. Likewise, this will help people getting Git as part of XCode, but not people gettin the package from git-scm.com. All that said, I'm happy to get as many binary packagers into the loop as early as possible. It can only help, even if it doesn't solve all problems. :) > Please add these addresses to the git-security mailing list: > jeremyhu@xxxxxxxxx > akilsrin@xxxxxxxxx > dt-epm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Done. > Please add these GitHub accounts to the cabal repo: > jeremyhu Done. > productsecurityOSSapple I couldn't find that account.

I hope that maybe they're also interested in reducing the overall diff between upstream Git and what ships with XCode. Last time I looked (which was admittedly a while ago), a lot of the changes seemed like things that could probably be considered upstream. -Peff
