Either I didn't understand your answer or something is wrong with my git installation:
paolo@Italia:~$ cd git/ paolo@Italia:~/git$ git --version git version 1.3.GIT paolo@Italia:~/git$ make >/dev/null paolo@Italia:~/git$ sudo make install >/dev/null Password: GIT_VERSION = 1.3.GIT paolo@Italia:~/git$ git --version git version 1.3.GIT paolo@Italia:~/git$
