Update git to 2.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.9.5
See detailed installation instructions here:
https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/INSTALL
Download or clone the source files from http://www.git-scm.com/
(As of 12/18/14, it is important to download the source files since the dmg installer is at a lower release version)
Simple directions
1. cd into the source file directory
2. make
3. make install
I ran into an issue with gettext and the international language library not being found by make.
Reading the above installation instructions, I was able to use the following commands for step 2 and 3:
2. make NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease
3. make install NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease
Hopefully, brew and the dmg installer will support git 2.2.1 soon.
