That was a blunder of the (recent) past so I'd say it's OK to download
directly from SF.  Note that the Mac OS X build accessible from
git-scm.com, while being "officially blessed" is not prepared by the
upstream Git developers (as they only distribute the source code) but
rather this is a port coordinated there at that SF project you referred
to.

Well, I've just verified that what would be automacitally downloaded
has the same URL as that "download manually" link.
So you should be fine with the manual download.

[git-users] Cant download Git

2015-11-03 Thread M Hendrickson
Hi

I am trying to download Git. When I click download for Mac OS X it says 
"download starting" but the download doesn't start.

There is a manual download option from sourceforge. But some have warned me 
that downloading from sourceforge often contains unwanted things included 
in the download.

Does anyone know why the download from git-scm.com is not working?

Thank you.

Melissa
