I didn't want to compile git for myself unless I have to. The git package supplied for my platform isn't working properly. I can't run a simple git commit without an error like below:
Nass> git commit -m "Test" fatal: 57e2b8c52efba71d84c56bf6f37581686b9061a3 is not a valid object I asked this question a while back at stackoverflow <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29932599/what-is-wrong-with-my-git-1-8-4-2-1>, and I was able to use git indirectly as alternative, but I can't do that now since I am going to start development of a software on that platform.
