Re: Upgrading GIT via MacPorts OS X Mountain Lion

Silly me for reading on a small screen...
I missed that you were already installing a variant.
So I gave that a whirl and it seems to have worked too:

sudo port install git-core +svn +bash_completion
...
--->  Deactivating git-core @1.7.12.3_1+credential_osxkeychain+doc+pcre+python27
--->  Cleaning git-core
--->  Activating git-core @1.7.12.3_1+bash_completion+credential_osxkeychain+doc+pcre+python27+svn
...

HTH,
Mark

Interesting pointer to homebrew, I'll have to check that out. 

For the record,
sudo port install git-core
Just worked for me on 10.8.2
Recently cleanly installed the machine and only about 8 previous port installs (top level requests, not counting all the bits which for example support wireshark. ;-)
I got
git-core @1.7.12.3, Revision 1 (devel)
in case the specific version helps. 

In the past I've had success with building variants when the default would not build. YMMV widely. ;-)

Good luck!
