OSX packages on git-scm.com broken on previous OSX versions?

OSX packages on git-scm.com broken on previous OSX versions?

[Dan Ackroyd]

Hi,

Apologies in advance if this is the wrong place, but it looks like the
OSX packages available from http://git-scm.com/download/mac are not
working for at least some people including myself.

What I'm seeing is that any call to invoke git gives an illegal
instruction, crash report is below.

The other people are listed at:
http://sourceforge.net/p/git-osx-installer/tickets/97/

Apparently this may be a problem caused by the lack of the compile
flag "-mmacosx-version-min=10.5" according to:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14268887/what-is-the-illegal-instruction-4-error-and-why-does-mmacosx-version-min-10

Any chance this can be investigated and fixed please?

cheers

As you noticed, those packages are done by the git-osx-installer
project. I've cc'd Tim Harper, who runs that project (but who I don't
think reads the list carefully).
