How does git not shine on OS X? Installed via Fink or DarwinPorts, I can't find any area in which it doesn't perform equivalently to the linux builds. There is also the lovely GitX on OS X for visualizing repos and staging commits.
agreed, i totally hate going thru dependency hell, but on any OS X, if you install the developer tools from the installation DVD, that will give you gcc and the basic libs you need to compile git with no problems. ./configure; sudo make install
