I ended\nup hand-editing svn's configure scripts to get them to work at all. It\ntook about a day of on-and-off effort, but it does now seem to work.\n\nGit took about half a day to get to build and install, but alas it\ndoesn't seem to work:\n\n $ git-clone git://git.utsl.gen.nz/p4-metadata\n /home/doughera/git/bin/git-clone: git-init: command not found\n Usage: /home/doughera/git/bin/git-clone [--template=] [--reference ] [--bare] [-l [-s]] [-q] [-u ] [--origin ] [--depth ] [-n] []\n $ git --version\n git version 1.5.3.6\n\nIndeed, I have no 'git-init' command anywhere to be found. I have no\nidea if this is normal. It's probably something simple, but I probably\nwon't have time to investigate until January sometime.\n\nSigh. \n\nOn the other hand, I certainly agree that the discussion has been\nconstructive and positive.
