presumably because you can easily update git on Fedora

When I do `dnf update git` I get at most 2.4.11/2.5.5, the only way I can get the latest is to compile from source.

EDIT: OK. So the fixes were backported

From what it sounded like in the article though you can't even easily replace the OSX binary for git, even if you compile it yourself.
