Stash requires git 1.7.6, but RHEL6 comes with git 1.7.1. As RHEL6 is extremely common, and most shops want to stay in-band of the supported software and not add more deps, can stash be made to work with < 1.7.6, perhaps with reduced functionality?

These are the steps we followed for CentOS6 and should work for RHEL6 with little or no modifications. First, you have to install the dependencies: yum -y install zlib-devel openssl-devel cpio expat-devel gettext-devel gcc Then, install ExUtils-MakeMaker: cd /usr/local/src wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/9.0/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.31.tar.gz tar xzvf ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.31.tar.gz cd ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.31 perl Makefile.PL make make install Download the latest version of git: cd /usr/local/src wget http://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-1.7.12.tar.gz tar xzvf git-1.7.12.tar.gz cd git-1.7.12 ./configure make make install

There's no way I'm going to use rpmforge packages on my servers.

Devs: you've simply got it wrong here - you should be using the library, not calling out an executable that needs installing from a third-party repo with a bad habit of replacing core packages. This kind of thing needs to work out of the box with a baseline install. Remember, we don't all have the developer's privilege of being able to move away from baseline OS installs at a whim.
