I'm not really actively following the ML anymore, as it is kinda busy :)
I was able to compile/test/install 1.5.5.1 on HP-UX 11.00/32 and on
HP-UX 11.23-ilp64 with a reasonable small set of additional changes.

Main thing I found to make most tests that used to fail now pass is to
use bash, instead of HP's native POSIX shell.

http://www.xs4all.nl/~procura/git-1.5.5.1-11.23.diff

We - as a company - now actively use git on HP-UX 11.00 and Linux

I also have AIX, but I hate it, and don't really care about it. It's
just that we have some poor customers whose IT people forced this OS
upon them.
