Well, I got it installed but I've run into a bit of a problem. First it was failing because I didn't have an /etc/profile.d folder, so I created that folder and it reinstalled fine. But now when I try to clone from my remote repository it tells me:

git: 'index-pack' is not a git-command

And when I try to do a local clone it tells me:

warning: templates not found /home/nikosapi/git-1.6.2/debian/git/usr/share/git-core/templates

So it looks like somewhere you've got your own home directory hard coded in a configuration file or something, because my home directory is /home/user/...

Any suggestions as to where I can update this value to point to my own home directory?

Thanks
Mark
