Yes, looks that way. Except it's not "git on master.kernel.org", it's "git in your home directory", I suspect. I expressly held off packing the kernel repo until git had been updated on kernel.org.

So while the regular git on kernel.org should already be up-to-date, you have

	PATH=/home/dwmw2/cogito:/usr/bin:/bin
in your script ;)

None of the git-specific parts should have broken - you don't even do anything strange there, I think we already have regression tests in git for everything you use. But the fact that you had an old version is not something I can do much about ;)
