You can do everything with 1.7.9 (it can still handle the tags correctly), but it doesn't DTRT by default: you have to explicitly mention the "tag" part (ie you need to use "tags/xyz" instead of just "xyz"), and git pull-request doesn't realize that pulling a signed tag does more than just pulling the commit it points to etc etc. So with 1.7.9 you can make things work, but you would end up to work around the fact that the whole signed tag pulling wasn't really a real feature before that. So 1.7.10 is when pulling a signed tag was really introduced: it's just that earlier versions can still *create* those tags (so the only one who *had* to have 1.7.10 was the person doing the pull). I would strongly recommend just doing git clone git://github.com/gitster/git cd git make make install as just a normal user (*NOT* as root), which will install git in your ~/bin directory. Then, just make sure that you have ~/bin in your PATH before /usr/bin, and you're all set. No need to mess with or worry about distro git binaries - leave them alone, but get the best and the brightest for your own use.
