* HACKING: Mention that git version 1.6.4 or later is required since
'./bootstrap' will fail otherwise.
You will need the "git" version control tools. On Fedora-based
systems, do "yum install git". On Debian-based ones install the
"git-core" package. Then run "git --version". If that says it's
-older than version 1.4.4, then you'd do well to get a newer version.

At worst, just download the latest stable release from
https://git-scm.com/ and build from source.
