Description cybernet 2014-10-25 19:53:43 UTC

can you please update git, to the latest version

git basic functions still work with github and bitbucket
yet others like new empty branch and ... others don't ...

there are a lot of bugfixes and a lot of features

being with 2 years old packages doesn't prove you are Enterprise

Hi, if you want newer version of git under RHEL-6 systems, you need use scl. software collections (scl), where is available new version of git. See [0].
