I have used homebrew to install git v1.8.0.2 but git-annex.app packages git v1.7.10.2. git 1.7 crashes due to some newer directives in my global git config.

    error: Malformed value for push.default: simple
    error: Must be one of nothing, matching, tracking or current.
    fatal: bad config file line 38 in /Users/akraut/.gitconfig
    
    git-annex: fd:13: hGetLine: end of file
    failed
    git-annex: webapp: 1 failed
