I am running the gnome overlay.  I didn't know it had git inside.
I am running git 1.7.7.  The only packages that won't compile for me
(caught by revdep-rebuild are gpointing-device-settings-1.5.1-r2 and
totem-plparser-2-32.6).  I believe these bugs are not related to the
above.

I can't get to the machine tonight, but will try it tomorrow.
