Yep, that sounds about right.  It has bitten me on the 12 platforms, I 
submitted to get git working on them.  I will look at reverting it.  

I just tried to get this working and now I am being flooded with emails 
from people that are trying git for the first time, and asking...

How I could your recommend such a broken SCM?  I told them to got back to 
the 1.5.X but being new to git and then not being able to build and use it 
is causing a lot of flack.  I am getting emails now about my recommending 
git, as it is broken.  I should not have announce to the various lists 
about how great git is and that they should dump their older SCM's in 
favor of git.  Really bad timing on my part.  I just hope these people 
will give git an other try.

Thanks,
