    Sometimes it just takes something simple like this showing the deps to make someone’s life a little easier. Thank you.

    git is now up to version 1.6.0.3. Also, I needed zlib1g-dev to complete compilation. I ended up with:

    aptitude install build-essential gettext zlib1g-dev
    wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.0.3.tar.gz
    tar xvzf git-1.6.0.3.tar.gz
    cd git-1.6.0.3
    ./configure
    make
    make install
