Hello!
I've cloned from git://github.com/sagemath/sage.git
(094712a Merge in bug fixes for the dev scripts)
and typed "make" on a (relatively minimal) Debian 7 Installation.
I didn't know whether such a step would actually succeed, since I
haven't yet been able to find a description that such a simple "make"
would work. So I didn't expect success.
But I am somewhat surprised that the build fails at building git (see
below). :-(
My Debian system says:
git version 1.7.10.4
and Sage wants to build 1.7.12.2.
Is there really any reason why Sage wouldn't be satisfied with a smaller
version number. What super features are used when building/developing
sage that justify the need for 1.7.12.2?
What actually surprises me is that Sage must build git at all. Wouldn't
it make sense to restrict build and development scripts to use features
of a git version number that is usually satisfied by current major
stable distributions and build git only when this is not fuflilled for
some very old distribution. Note that git must have been installed,
since I have (successfully) cloned sage from github.

Please email sage-devel (http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel)
explaining the problem and including the relevant part of the log file

Describe your computer, operating system, etc.
If you want to try to fix the problem yourself, *don't* just cd to
/home/me/v/git/sage/local/var/tmp/sage/build/git-1.7.12.2.p0 and type
'make' or whatever is appropriate.
Instead, the following commands setup all environment variables
correctly and load a subshell for you to debug the error:
(cd '/home/me/v/git/sage/local/var/tmp/sage/build/git-1.7.12.2.p0' &&
'/home/me/v/git/sage/sage' --sh)
When you are done debugging, you can type "exit" to leave the subshell.
