Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

Git on khan is version 1.5.2.1 which came out in June of 2007.  I was trying to use `git stash` which apparently didn't exist back then.  The latest version is 1.6.3.1.

EPEL has updated git, I think. Right, dave?

Comment 2

[Jeremy Orem [:oremj]]

EPEL is only up to 1.5.5.6 I'll build the new version.

Comment 3

I get the following when I try to build the package:
xmlto: input does not validate (status 1)
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/git-1.6.3.1/Documentation/git-filter-branch.xml:435: parser error : PCDATA invalid Char value 7
Clone it with <literal>git clone +++0+++</literal>.  The clone
                                    ^

Dave have you head anything about RHEL 5's version of xmlto being buggy?

Comment 4

[Jeremy Orem [:oremj]]

I've installed the new package on khan, but I was only able to build it without docs.

Comment 5

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

This broke all the git-svn commands.  Does that need to be built too?

Comment 6

[Jeremy Orem [:oremj]]

I've installed that package as well.

This works great, thanks
