new tmux install on os x lion returns "git: Permission denied"

Question

I just installed tmux on os x and when I invoke tmux on the command line it works, but also tells me "git: Permission denied". What is it trying to do with git?

Answer 1

I encountered the same problem, and it was git-osx-installer's bug.

You can just upgrade to >=1.7.6.1 or fix the file permission by hand:

sudo chmod a+r /etc/manpaths.d/git
