you just built?

I was, but the difference here is the this logic calls another instance of Git halfway through, and I didn't realize until today that that other instance ended up being the system Git instead. So technically, I was only half-using it -- but accident.

Maybe I should consider installing it globally on my machine, via PATH or otherwise!
