I have git and cogito (the wrapper scripts) working now on NetBSD, but
I did it by compiling git manually using gmake.  I also modified the
git Makefile like this:

--- Makefile.orig	2005-11-12 05:06:55.000000000 -0800
+++ Makefile
@@ -212,6 +212,10 @@ ifeq ($(uname_S),OpenBSD)
 	NEEDS_LIBICONV = YesPlease
 	ALL_CFLAGS += -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib
 endif
+ifeq ($(uname_S),NetBSD)
+	NEEDS_LIBICONV = YesPlease
+	ALL_CFLAGS += -I/usr/pkg/include -L/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/pkg/lib
+endif
 ifneq (,$(findstring arm,$(uname_M)))
 	ARM_SHA1 = YesPlease
 endif

git also needs these packages: wget, curl, libiconv, python, and gmake.

The tarballs for git and cogito are here:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git-core/git-core-0.99.9g.tar.gz
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/cogito-0.15.1.tar.gz

I also had to do ulimit -n 1024 before I could actually use cg-clone
to clone the git repository -- but it worked with no modifications!

To install git and cogito to the correct place you need to do this:
gmake prefix=/usr/pkg install

Unfortunately I don't understand pkgsrc well enough to put the
packages together myself.  Any help would be much appreciated!
