 > Xcode > 4 has a bundled version of git so this only affects snow leopard
 with Xcode 3.2.6 (as installed on our buildbots).

 And as on most Snow Leopard users' machines, since Xcode 4 on Snow Leopard
 has never been free.

 This also affect Leopard and Tiger users.

 But it does not affect users who already installed git.

 In these situations, the `-replace` modifier is more convenient than using
 both `-delete` and `-append`.

 Replying to [comment:2 mojca@…]:
 > I would prefer to see 2.3.1 released sometime soon rather than patching
 a huge number of ports just to revert the changes later.

 Agreed.
