I agree with Peter, the original git is as easy as it gets.  I did him one 
better though--I installed it on the host system, put it in all my Ch5-6 build 
scripts, and have a complete build backed-up step-by-step.  I did add a few 
features to it (1072 lines now), and am changing the name of my version (with 
the appropriate attributions) to avoid confusion with Linus' thing called "git".

Git doesn't enforce a particular way of package management on a sysadmin.  I 
don't like Procrustean Beds--"You can't install that now, you don't have all 
the prereq's I think you need!"  So a little more onus falls on the sysadmin to 
use it properly.  But when the situation arises that he needs to do something 
out of the ordinary, git helps rather than fights him.
