Hi,
Did you do a "sudo make install" as the last step?
As a general rule of thumb on OS X, don't update or otherwise do
anything to stuff installed by Apple. You have to install the newer
version from the Git repository to a different directory, eg /usr/local
or /usr/local/git .
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
or
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/git
make all
sudo make install
Then change your login profile, from the terminal, to reflect the new
bin location, eg /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/git/bin .
Hope this help.
