What is the oldest version of git that is shipped with _current_ distros,

Debian stable has 1.5.6.5. Since there should be a Debian release
within the next few months, that should be an upper bound on how old a
package can get in a release (well, unless for RedHat users maybe).

EPEL for RHEL5 is 1.5.5.6 (plus security/bugfix patches).
RHEL5 itself doesn't have git (as if it did it wouldn't be in EPEL).

We await RHEL6--granted it will take a while to upgrade things to that
point after it comes out.
