From the INSTALL file:
- Git is reasonably self-sufficient, but does depend on a few external
programs and libraries. Git can be used without most of them by adding
the approriate "NO_<LIBRARY>=YesPlease" to the make command line or
config.mak file.
- "zlib", the compression library. Git won't build without it.
...
Per suggestions already made, on ubuntu apt-cache search and apt-cache
get are your friends.

At first I looked at Git but could not get a version to run on my Ubuntu box. So, I had to settle for Hg. Now, that I'm several months into the web app dev I'm responsible for the hired help has convinced me to switch to Git. Now, I'm back at the same old problem I had months ago that forced me to give up on using Git. Unlike a lot of Unix/Linux based software the usual:
