Hannes,
 yes!  about 10 minutes ago I was handed the keys to a
 brand new VM which is to be the company's git server.
 a very important point is it will be backed-up (unlike
 the former repository!).  git on the VM is "my" problem,
 and one of the first things I must do is install it.
 the VM is running "CentOS release 5 (Final)".  all things
 being equal, I'd prefer to install a reliable/stable
 pre-built package (RPM, I assume, since CentOS is based
 on Redhat).  I confess I do not know (have not looked)
 where to find suitable RPMs of git.
 suggestions are most welcome!
cheers!
