I forked rvm on github.com, pulled down a copy, made a small change, did a comment, and tried to do a push and got back this:

git push fatal: bad object b0dfdc67dcd5e466d2e0799e38727d065882edcf error: pack-objects died with strange error error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:pedz/rvm.git'

I deleted the fork, recreated it, tried again, got the same issue.

Surfing the web, it was suggested I upgrade.  I'm currently at 1.6.1.  So, ok... I pulled down the newest copy and tried to build it and I died with:

make
    SUBDIR perl
    SUBDIR git_remote_helpers
gmake[1]: /usr/bin/python: Command not found
gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 127
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

I don't have python and even if I did, it would not be in /usr/bin.  Does git now depend upon Python?  That is such a lame language... I hope not.  Is there any way to build git without python?  If I have to get Python -- which Python.  My biggest complaint with Python is it is so incompatible with itself.

I can't find how to subscribe to this list so please remember to CC me on any replies.

Thank you, Perry
