Updated Git to 1.7.8.4 on My MacBook Pro

This morning I thought that git on my MacBook Pro might be a little behind the times. I don't honestly think there's a huge difference from 1.7.4.1 to 1.7.8.4, but you never know, and it's simple using the Mac OS X installer. Just download it, double-click, and it's ready to go.

It's nice to see:

  $ git --version
  git version 1.7.8.4

Nice. Love it when things "just work".

Interesting… I just noticed that Mac OS X 10.7.3 comes with git - and it makes perfect sense that it does. Xcode uses git now, and so it'd require that the OS - at least the developer tools, would have to have it. So it's not necessary for me to worry about updating this any more. It's nice to have a secondary source, should Apple decide to drop it's support, but I'm guessing that's not going to happen anytime soon.

Interesting stuff…
