Answer 1

you can consider my solution: Open XCode(Install one if you didn't install it.), and press "COMMAND + ,". Click "Download". Find "command line tool", download and install it.Then restart your mac,done!

Hope you can solve it with the same way.

Answer 2

Looks like /usr/local/git/bin/git has been compiled with the wrong -mmacosx-version-min value. You don't mention how it got there, so I cannot help further along that path.

I would recommend installing macports and simply doing:

$ sudo port install git-core git-extras
