my local machines tell me :

pkg-get -c | grep git
            git          1.6.2.1,REV=2009.03.24                           SAME
        git_cvs          1.6.2.1,REV=2009.03.24         1.6.0.5,REV=2009.01.08
        git_doc          1.6.2.1,REV=2009.03.24         1.6.0.5,REV=2009.01.08
        git_gui          1.6.2.1,REV=2009.03.24         1.6.0.5,REV=2009.01.08
        git_svn          1.6.2.1,REV=2009.03.24         1.6.0.5,REV=2009.01.08
         gitcvs          1.6.2.1,REV=2009.03.24                           SAME
         gitdoc          1.6.2.1,REV=2009.03.24                           SAME
         gitgui          1.6.2.1,REV=2009.03.24                           SAME
           gitk          1.6.2.1,REV=2009.03.24                           SAME
         gitsvn          1.6.2.1,REV=2009.03.24                           SAME


The occurrence of version 1.6.0.5 makes me wonder. Thats why I did :

pkginfo | grep -i git
application CSWgit                           git - Fast Version Control System
application CSWgitcvs                        gitcvs - Git tools for working 
with CVS repositories
application CSWgitdoc                        gitdoc - Documentation for Git
application CSWgitemacs                      gitemacs - Git VCS support for 
Emacs
application CSWgitgui                        gitgui - Git GUI tool
application CSWgitk                          gitk - Git revision tree 
visualiser
application CSWgitsvn                        gitsvn - Git tools for working 
with Subversion repositories


Something is wrong with the naming scheme. Maybe it was a good Idea to take 
the old
version containing the underscore of the mirror and out of the package list.

One of my colleague - being unable to read version strings and release numbers 
- struggled a while
trying to get rid of the old version and installing the new ones.
