Re: [9front] 9front, git and mercurial.

Bingo - I didn't think to do a fresh build of git after it finally 
retrieved that initial revision and i did not read that error message as 
something that could be related to the version of git.

When I tried doing an "mk all" again something failed during compilation 
due to files being out of sync.

Figuring that some of the files might actually *be* out of sync, I did a 
cd cmd/git then mk all && mk install from there, which worked.

Now sysupdate ran (from /sys/src) and apparently pulled some files down, 
and the next run appears to have been clean with no further updates.

As mk all still gave me compilation errors, I ran an mk clean to get a 
fresh start hoping that it would pull things back into sync, then 
started mk all again, which is now running.  I've seen errors like those 
before and an mk clean and fresh start on mk all cleared them up, so I 
am hopeful this will take care of it.

In any case, the source seems to finally be up-to-date, so this issue at 
least appears to be resolved.


Thank you!
