My experiences on Solaris are about equally painful, but reversed.  I ended
up hand-editing svn's configure scripts to get them to work at all.  It
took about a day of on-and-off effort, but it does now seem to work.

Git took about half a day to get to build and install, but alas it
doesn't seem to work:

    $ git-clone git://git.utsl.gen.nz/p4-metadata
    /home/doughera/git/bin/git-clone: git-init: command not found
    Usage: /home/doughera/git/bin/git-clone [--template=<template_directory>] [--reference <reference-repo>] [--bare] [-l [-s]] [-q] [-u <upload-pack>] [--origin <name>] [--depth <n>] [-n] <repo> [<dir>]
    $ git --version
    git version 1.5.3.6

Indeed, I have no 'git-init' command anywhere to be found.  I have no
idea if this is normal.  It's probably something simple, but I probably
won't have time to investigate until January sometime.

Sigh.  

On the other hand, I certainly agree that the discussion has been
constructive and positive.  Sam's done a wonderful job working on
converting the perforce repository and sharing his work with the broader
community.
