Re: Git installation on Mac OS X - problem
Sorry... I misread the README... it does indeed say /usr/local/git, which is where the new binary was installed correctly. Eyes have been crossed by all of these software re-installations and terminal commands. :P
Thanks.

Upon attempting to install git-core via MacPorts, it hangs on the "Building" stage, with no disk activity (clang process is active in Terminal). So, I attempted to download the .pkg install from git-scm.com. This Installer says the installation was complete, but Apple's outdated version of git (1.7.3) is still the active binary.
