[Building Sakai] DRAFT: Installing git on Mac OS X

[Speelmon, Lance Day]

Okay see if this satisfies:

Precompiled Binaries

For those of you that do not have the patience to experience the magical goodness of MacPorts, I might suggest downloading a precompiled package: http://git-scm.com/download.

Probably still worth linking too though, since it's listed on their page
for OS X, which makes it seems 'official like'.  I agree that macports
is nice and I've used it to get The Gimp and Dia, but it seems to take a
really long time, which might be too long for someone who just wants to
check out 3akai and use eclipse.

Yes - it may be easier, but in my experience these 3rd party packages tend to not be well supported over time and never have the official blessing of the parent project.  Over the years of trying to rely on these kinds of packages, I have been sorely disappointed as they tend to be slow to provide updates.  It makes it hard to write documentation that can stand the test of time.  MacPorts has been there for me from day one and has been very consistent.  Not to mention, you only need to learn it once to get access to over 12,000 applications ported to OSX.  L

It looks ok, but you should really mention this which is much much
much easier (and what I use).
