1. OpenSUSE 11.0's yast2 does not have "ignore dependency" anymore in
   the gui, which makes installing git from the GIT RPMS to fail as it
   seems to depend on openssh-clients, a package that has been
   deprecated in SUSE, and is not available anymore
   In 10.3 you could still go on after "ignore this dependency
   locally", and all worked fine.

So now I have to build from source, or download the rpm and look up the flags to rpm to make --no-deps work. That feels dirty, so I rather build

Builds fine. Now 'make test', which I often mistype as 'make check' because the GNU folk refuse to add 'make test' as an alias for 'make check' and switching between all the sourse distributions that do it right (perl, git, ...) and those that do it wrong (GNU) I often type the wrong one

git-1.6.0.4 112 > make check for i in *.c; do sparse -g -O2 -Wall -DSHA1_HEADER='<openssl/sha.h>' -DNO_STRLCPY -D__BIG_ENDIAN__ -D__powerpc__ $i || exit; done /bin/sh: sparse: command not found make: *** [check] Error 127

Maybe the Makefile could be a little more user-friendly with a message like

	"Cannot run 'make check', as you do not have 'sparse' installed.
	 Did you mean to run 'make test' instead?"

FYI '/bin/sh' ./aggregate-results.sh test-results/t*-* fixed 1 success 3726 failed 0 broken 2 total 3729 rm -f -r 'trash directory' test-results
