That one,  \nhowever, did not meet my needs so I created this one and decided to  \nshare it in case anyone else has similar requirements.\n\n\nFeatures\n--------\n\n* This installer includes PowerPC/Intel 32/64 bit binaries and runs on  \n10.4.8 or later.  So if you're running PPC 10.5 on a G5 and need a 64- \nbit Git you're good to go.\n\n* The Git translations ARE included and may optionally be chosen based  \non the System Preferences languages selection(s) instead of the LANG  \nand related environment variables.\n\n* Besides the man pages; the html docs, release notes, api, howto etc.  \ndocs are also included.\n\n* This is a Secure Transport-based Git -- no OpenSSL is used.  This  \nmeans all root certificates (by default) come from the standard OS X  \nkeychain location(s).  Both git imap-send and git send-email operate  \nusing Secure Transport in this build (via libcurl).\n\n* git send-email, git imap-send and git instaweb work out-of-the-box  \nwith no additional software installation required.\n\n* git subtree and git-credential-osxkeychain are included.\n\n* A build of the curl command-line utility that uses Secure Transport  \nis also included (may be optionally disabled in the installer) for  \nconvenience.\n\n* A build of the GnuPG gpg utility (with docs) is included (may be  \noptionally disabled in the installer) for signing/verifying  \nconvenience which also supports creating top secret strength RSA keys.\n\n* A build of TopGit is included (may be optionally disabled in the  \ninstaller) for patch management.\n\n* Library headers are included  (may be optionally disabled in the  \ninstaller) for ease of building a custom Git against the same  \nlibraries the installed Git uses.\n\n* Provides a complete solution for using Git on Mac OS X 10.4.x and  \n10.5.x including full support for https/imaps/ftps/smtps TLS  \ncertificates which use the SHA-2 family of hash functions (such as  \nSHA-256).\n\n* Fully supports TLS 1.2 when run on a version of OS X with TLS 1.2  \nsupport (OS X 10.9 and later).\n\n* Currently provides Git version 2.1.4 (with backports of the  \nexecutable-config-file fix, reflog-reading fix and imap-send-via- \nlibcurl patch).  Installers for later versions of Git are planned.\n\n\nDownloads\n---------\n\nDownload links (and hashes) for the 11 MiB installer (a .dmg image)  \nare available at:\n\n   http://mackyle.github.io/git-osx-installer/\n\n\n-Kyle\n"}]}
