I finally convinced Dreamhost to install git. That's great news, no more git processes getting killed by their hyperactive process monitor which can't tell a mmap of a 2GB file from allocating 2GB of memory. The bad news is that the install completely broke git.digispeaker.com.

The main problem was that I had locally installed current git 1.6 on the Dreamhost account. When Dreamhost installed git they installed 1.4.4 (from Jan 2007 - why???). I didn't initially know that Dreamhost had installed git so my local copy and their installed copy started interacting in bad ways. Now its six hours later and I have git.digispeaker.com working again.

It's been one year since we registered digispeaker.com, I justed renewed it.
