Re: git

Thorbjoern,

The comment on xterm jogged my memory.  Git DOES run in xterm from 
within a VNC session on the i.  THAT was what I was trying to remember 
but it was so long ago that I couldn't recall.

puTTY, qp2term and qsh all returned the same error message but when you 
run it from xterm in VNC then all is well.

So, going back to Alfredo's original post: YES you can run git as long 
as you start a VNC session and then use xterm from within VNC.

Thanks for shaking a few bits and bytes up so I could remember.  I 
should probably post this in the wiki or FAQ (if only for my own benefit...)
