I've just tried a test install of the new 4.18.0 release using Automatic Upgrades script (now apparently called MatrixUpgrades).
The upgrade seems to rely on Git. Specifically, the main.conf file of the script requires a location for the Git binary.
I can't find this discussed in the patch notes, manuals or on SquizLabs blog. It isn't in the requirements yet. There is a mention of it in the EES script. Those of us who have builds on managed servers don't necessarily have Git installed so this is a bit inconvenient.
Could someone from Squiz confirm that Git is a system requirement please?
Thanks
Will
