I compiled git under MacOSX 10.4.10 withr:

A) -m64 -arch ppc64 on a dual G5
B) -m64 -arch x86_64 on the dual quad-core

In both case, the link phase failed because there
was no 64-bit version of libz, libssl, libiconv and
libcrypto to link with.

I then installed MacOSX 10.5 (Leopard) which
was just released last month on the dual
quad-core machine with -m64 -arch x86_64.
git compiled and linked successfully.  However,
it failed in the "git add ." which was the
second command after "git init".  The message
was fairly cryptic, "Bus error".

I am guessing that the "Bus error" is an Apple
problem and it did produce a crashreport.  So,
I am going to submit it to Apple since it is easily
reproducible.

Anyway, those are the results.

I am now going to split out the jpg(s), pdf(s)
and (.mov) files from the repository  and just
manage them external to the git repository
which will fix my git problem.

I will report again when I get git running on
Leopard.
