Installing latest stable git on Mac OS X Mountain Lion is blocked
by Gatekeeper.

Could you provide an installer for latest stable git that is
signed with an Apple issued developer ID so gatekeeper will let it
through?

I am assuming that this is about the mechanism to block installation
or execution of binaries obtained from outside the Apple store, and
anything built from the source are exempt.

If that assumption is mistaken, please correct/educate me and
disregard the rest of the message.

I release only the source tarballs and no longer do any pre-built
binaries (I used to do so only for RPM), and Torsten must be getting
a(n unsigned) binary from somewhere; the request needs to be given
to whoever is supplying a pre-built binary for MacOS, but I do not
know who that entity is.

Whoever you are, please speak up and help Torsten and fellow MacOS
folks.

The MacOS binary installer on git-scm.com is built by Tim Harper (cc'd).
It looks like there are both GitHub and Google Code repositories for it:

  https://github.com/timcharper/git_osx_installer

  https://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/

You might have luck submitting an issue there (I am not sure which one
is the primary, but it looks like the Google Code site).
