@aral Nope. If you install Git in /bin yourself it'll work. The reason for the message is that the stub tool in OS X is proprietary that … -
@uliwitness I _did_ have Git installed — this has hijacked that. -
@aral Well, *you* installed Xcode over git. I don't see a legal issue there. Only UX.

@aral Agreed, bad UX. If you want the technical reasons behind it, let me know, I have a good theory. -

@aral I hate when things say to install them with sudo. Why? A lot of node or ruby stuff is this way and makes things screwy. -

@aral gotcha now - so it forces you to using xcode vcs?
