Do the git maintainers really think any mac users have
 a clue which git install package to download?  You 
put some arcane chipset designation in the package
 name!  Why make mac installers at all?  Mac users 
know their operating system number, e.g. 10.6.7, 
and that's all.  I doubt Windows users know any better.  
And I doubt you can find anywhere on a mac that says
 i386 or whatever the heck the other dumb 
designation is.
