Thanks for the solutions log Trey! For the Macports version of the install you probably want to have xcode installed. To ease the pain.

Somehow, someway, I lost my Git man pages during the upgrade. Doh!

In case anyone else ends up in the same boat, these two commands will install the 1.5.6 man pages and get you back on track:

curl -O http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-manpages-1.5.6.tar.bz2

sudo tar xjv -C /usr/local/man -f git-manpages-1.5.6.tar.bz2

Thanks so much for these incredibly easy-to-follow, accurate instructions. Everything worked exactly as it was supposed to with no errors, which is pretty much a first for me.

Interesting, especially the compiling from source. I also wrote about Git on OS X some time ago with a little more focus on the installation from MacPorts and Configuration. You can find it here

Thanks for the writeup. If you're interested in hosting git on your leopard machine, then I've written a writeup over at blog.ardes.com

Even more of a bonus: Geoff Cheshire and I have been putting together some Git installer packages for OS X:
