Git version must be 1.7.10 or higher for gitlab

Currently the puppet-gitlab has a dependency on puppetlabs/git however if you use class { 'git': }

before calling the puppet-gitlab module you will install git 1.7.1 (when using centos 6) which is not compatible with gitlab

To install git 1.7.10:

class {'repoforge' : enabled => ['rpmforge', 'extras'], }

package { 'git-1.7.10.4-1.el6.rfx.x86_64': ensure => 'installed', provider => 'yum', require => Class['repoforge'] }

To install git 1.8.3

exec { 'download IUS Community repo': command => 'wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/PUIAS_6_computational.repo https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-recipes/raw/master/install/centos/PUIAS_6_computational.repo', timeout => 0, }

exec { 'download IUS Community repo key': command => 'wget -O /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-puias http://springdale.math.ias.edu/data/puias/6/x86_64/os/RPM-GPG-KEY-puias', timeout => 0, require => Exec['download IUS Community repo'], }

exec { 'install IUS Community repo': command => 'rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-puias', timeout => 0, require => Exec['download IUS Community repo key'], }

package { 'git.x86_64': ensure => 'installed', provider => 'yum', require => Exec['install IUS Community repo'] }

I good enhancement to the the puppet-gitlab would be to do a git --version and check that it is greater or equal to 1.7.10

Hopefully on centos 7 the default git installed from yum with be a higher version.
