Re: OSX packages on git-scm.com broken on previous OSX versions?

Apologies in advance if this is the wrong place, but it looks like the
OSX packages available from http://git-scm.com/download/mac are not
working for at least some people including myself.

As you noticed, those packages are done by the git-osx-installer
project. I've cc'd Tim Harper, who runs that project (but who I don't
think reads the list carefully).

[copious quoting of original problem below]

What I'm seeing is that any call to invoke git gives an illegal
instruction, crash report is below.

The other people are listed at:
http://sourceforge.net/p/git-osx-installer/tickets/97/

Apparently this may be a problem caused by the lack of the compile
flag "-mmacosx-version-min=10.5" according to:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14268887/what-is-the-illegal-instruction-4-error-and-why-does-mmacosx-version-min-10

Any chance this can be investigated and fixed please?
