This is a heads up and a request for testing of git-1.8.2.1 on el5 (if anyone here is still using git from EPEL there).
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/git-1.8.2.1-1.el5
This update obsoletes an ealier 1.8.1.4 update that didn't get announced here. I don't believe there are any changes from the current 1.7.4.1 release that would make this unacceptable for EPEL, but I could always be wrong.
Hi Todd,
we are missing /usr/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend in the new package. Has this been intentionally removed, or is this an accident?
Best regards Thomas

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.
