HI Greg,
We ran into this same issue on OS X 10.8 of below at UCSD a couple of
weeks ago.
We found success by using the git-osx-installer 1.8.4.2 found here:
https://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/downloads/detail?name=git-1.8.4.2-intel-universal-snow-leopard.dmg&can=2&q=
If it does not work or you get an error with git v1.8.4.2, the second
thing that helped was to install or update the command line tools using
the command "xcode-select --install":

This SW Carpentry wiki doc helped for some installation issues that we
ran across:

Good luck!

We tried older versions of Git when this came up three weeks ago;
didn't help. I'll try GitHub for Mac tomorrow - don't think the
students have Homebrew.
Thx,

Looks like most of the advice comes down to "install a different Git".
You could track down an older installer for Macs, install GitHub for
Mac (https://mac.github.com/), or install the command line tools,
either via XCode or by downloading just the command line tools from
Apple's developer site (for which you have to register for a free
Apple developer account). If, for some reason, folks are already
using Homebrew it can also install Git.
If you try GitHub for Mac I don't know to where that installs Git.

Hi,
We had another couple of students run into "Git doesn't run on
Mac OS X 10.8" problems today - as with the workshop in Toronto
at the beginning of the month, 'git --version' works fine, but
anything beyond that (such as 'git init .') fails because of a
symbol binding problem (missing symbol is strlcpy_chk, for those
who care). The furthest we got then was:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22920497/git-mountain-lion-dyld-lazy-symbol-binding-failed-symbol-not-found-str
Does anyone have an advance on this? I'd like to be able to get
them back on track tomorrow morning if I can...
Thanks,
Greg
