Hi,

one of my colleagues made me aware today that the macOS Git installer is 
hosted on SourceForge and advertised on the official git-scm page:
https://git-scm.com/download/mac

SourceForge had some bad press as they apparently bundled junkware in
their downloads:

Is this a reason for concern?

Thanks,
Lars
