git merge in FreeBSD

Hi,

I get a "git-merge-recursive: not found" error when I try to do a merge in FreeBSD. Same 
command in Linux does not give an error.

# git merge "Merging from updates" RELENG_1 RELENG_1_origin
Trying really trivial in-index merge...
fatal: Merge requires file-level merging
Nope.
/usr/local/bin/git-merge: git-merge-recursive: not found
No merge strategy handled the merge.

I am using git version 1.2.4.gea75 in FreeBSD 6

This is probably the wrong python path in git-merge-recursive.  I've got
a fix on my laptop for this and gitk, but I haven't tried submitting it
again (I guess email was hosed, or it got lost, when I sent the first
version of it directly to Junio).

But might I also recommend ports/devel/git?  I'm keeping it pretty up to
date, and using it on a daily basis.
