It's kind of what I was thinking, was that git simply hasn't been ported to the Atari platform.  

I thought I saw somewhere that someone was writing a new libc-mint library?  (I think that's what it
was called) to either supplement or replace mintlib?  Maybe that would work to port it?

Apologies if I started a version system war!  I'm always curious why some projects stick with CVS,
or move to svn, git, mecurial.  That and I'm kind of a Linus fan (not so much because of the kernel
and git, but because he cracks me up.)  So I think it'd be awesome to get git working on the Atari
operating systems.
