It is time to go through our usual exercise of installing git on a bright and shiny new Ubuntu. Lucid it is this time around.
No surprises at all (see previously posted Karmic instructions) :
sudo aptitude install zlib1g-dev
cd ~/_tmp
wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.1.tar.gz
tar xvfz git-1.7.1.tar.gz
cd git-1.7.1/
./configure
make
sudo make install
git
enjoy!
