Re: EPEL Updating git in -5 to 1.8.2.1

Hi Thomas,

we are missing /usr/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend in the new package. Has this been intentionally removed, or is this an accident?

The git exec-path on EL5 is /usr/bin, which was a requirement when updating from 1.5 to prevent scripts from breaking.

You'll find git-http-backend there:

$ rpm -qpl git-1.8.2.1-1.el5.i386.rpm | grep 'git-http-backend$' /usr/bin/git-http-backend

You can use 'git --exec-path' to get the correct path, if you need to determine the path in scripts.
