but why? why do you need bleeding edge git on these special-purpose systems from the stone age? wouldn't any sane developer (cross-)build on a modern system (which usually has about an order of magnitude more computing power, aside from the newer tools) and then deploy and extract only what's needed via some mostly automated process? it would only matter if git was part of the production software (what for?), but then we're back to square one.
