Rob probably installed his Git from Fink.
I've installed mine using MacPorts. Here's the recipe in case you're 
interested:

---
MacPorts needs Xcode because it installs applications from the source. 
So make sure Xcode is installed first. Because it compiles applications 
from source it can take a bit.

Then grab the Mac OS X Package Installer from 
http://www.macports.org/install.php and follow the installation 
instructions on that page.

Once that's done you can install git with the following command:

$ sudo port -v install git-core

Because Git uses Ssh, MacPorts also installed its own Ssh version which 
unfortunately was buggy. If this happens to you, delete (or rename) scp, 
slogin and ssh in /opt/local/bin.
---

The part about ssh may be why you had stability problems with Git. As 
far as I can tell my workaround works just fine.
