I don't say porting git to HP-UX was/is easy, but at least I got it building in less than four hours without having to depend on other projects. I gave up on SVN after three days and not having any runnable part of svn at all.
My experiences on Solaris are about equally painful, but reversed. I ended up hand-editing svn's configure scripts to get them to work at all. It took about a day of on-and-off effort, but it does now seem to work.
Git took about half a day to get to build and install, but alas it doesn't seem to work:
$ git-clone git://git.utsl.gen.nz/p4-metadata
/home/doughera/git/bin/git-clone: git-init: command not found
Usage: /home/doughera/git/bin/git-clone [--template=<template_directory>] [--reference <reference-repo>] [--bare] [-l [-s]] [-q] [-u <upload-pack>] [--origin <name>] [--depth <n>] [-n] <repo> [<dir>]
$ git --version
git version 1.5.3.6Indeed, I have no 'git-init' command anywhere to be found. I have no idea if this is normal. It's probably something simple, but I probably won't have time to investigate until January sometime.
Sigh.
On the other hand, I certainly agree that the discussion has been constructive and positive. Sam's done a wonderful job working on converting the perforce repository and sharing his work with the broader community.

I just tried it and it worked OK. Note that the hardlinks are the _last_ part of the install procedure, even after doing the perl and git-gui subdirectories. Are we sure the "make install" actually made it to completion?

/usr/sbin/install does not accept all options that git's "make install" is using?

/usr/sbin/install doesn't seem to work at all on Solaris. Using /usr/ucb/install does correctly create the hardlinks.
