That /usr/local/bin/gzip looks awkward; shouldn't it be the user's responsibility to make sure "gzip" is in $PATH?
Maybe. On FreeBSD the GNU gzip goes into /usr/local/bin, its own one into /usr/bin.
Oh, okay, I'm used to /usr/local/bin being the designated install directory for user-compiled software.
Out of curiosity, what prevents us from using BSD gzip?
For some reason, patches/gitapply.sh explicitly checks for BSD gzip and fails if found:
# Detect BSD - we check this first to error out as early as possible if gzip -V 2>&1 | grep -q "BSD"; then echo "This script is not compatible with *BSD utilities. Please install git," >&2 echo "which provides the same functionality and will be used instead."
