Re: Git 2.15.0 on OSX 10.12.6: gui multi-select stage

[Matthew Orres <matthew.orres@gmail.com>]

I'd be glad to give it a try - but am unfamiliar with how portable a
manual build of Git can be used along side the version I have
installed via Homebrew - do I just use full paths to reference the
compiled executable from within my repository folder?

Thanks!
