Howdy :)

Recently I installed magit from source on my Macbook (running Git mac
package from website and custom compiled emacs from it's own cvs). I
mainly work using tramp so I immediately pulled up a dired buffer or a
recent project and ran magit-status. Everything seems to work great. I
can see unstaged changes just fine (and use tab to see diffs)

Unfortunately when I try to stage these changes I get:
Searching for program: No such file or directory, git

Git is in my path when I ssh into the server and is just installed
into /usr/bin/git on the server. It's in /usr/local/git/bin/git on my
local computer though (guess that's where the package installs it to).
To check if this was the issue I created a symlink to the right path
in /usr/bin/git on my local computer (sudo ln -s `which git` /usr/bin/
git) which does make the first error go away but now when I hit s to
stage a unstaged change nothing happens. No errors, but nothing is
staged. I can even commit and type a commit message with no errors but
no commit.

Thanks for any help in advance,
Chris Giroir
