Hi all, sorry for not having sent these informations in my first e-mail. I'm working on a Debian Jessie laptop, with git version 2.1.4. I watched the same behavior in a workmate's laptop which uses last version of Ubuntu, but now I cannot contact him to get git version.

Afger "apt-get update" and "apg-get install --only-upgrade git", the response is that I have the latest git version, what sounds strange to me if you say you use version 2.4.4.

Thanks!!

Víctor
