But it is actually quite simple to uninstall the old git on both systems, compile the newest git, and just install it everywhere. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
