git 2.6.3 won't install over 2.5.4 on OSX 10.11.2

Hi, First, thanks for building and maintaining this git installer.

When I try to install the latest git 2.6.3 over the latest Mac El Capitan (10.11.2), I still get the git version that came with El Capitan, 2.5.4.

Here's my path post install: -bash: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/texbin: No such file or directory

I"m not the sharpest on linux/unix but 2 things jump out.

  1. The last item in that path seems clearly wrong but I'm not sure if it is related to this problem. It seems extraneous.

  2. The install is not overwriting the 2.5.4 git when I go look at the executable git in the above path

In usr/local/bin lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14 Dec 27 10:19 git -> ../git/bin/git

In /usr/local/git/bin I have: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5348344 Dec 6 21:58 git -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 30768 Dec 6 21:58 git-credential-osxkeychain -rwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 162429 Dec 6 21:58 git-cvsserver lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 Dec 27 10:19 git-receive-pack -> git -rwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2600092 Dec 6 21:58 git-shell lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 Dec 27 10:19 git-upload-archive -> git -rwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2848224 Dec 6 21:58 git-upload-pack -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 348074 Dec 6 21:58 gitk

In /usr/bin I have these files: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18176 Dec 2 23:36 git -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18208 Dec 2 23:36 git-cvsserver -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18208 Dec 2 23:36 git-receive-pack -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18192 Dec 2 23:35 git-shell -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18208 Dec 2 23:36 git-upload-archive -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18208 Dec 2 23:35 git-upload-pack

(That Dec 2 file seems too small compared to the Dec 6 executable version above.)

Today is Dec 27, and so the installer is doing something, but it isn't affecting the old 2.5.4. git dated December 6.

Any ideas?

Thanks
