Universal binaries are huge and fat. Mature the git installer build script so 
it can pump out 
individual installers for i386, x86_64, ppc, and ppc64.

Is there currently any way of getting 64bit versions of git? I was trying to 
track a svn repo but failed since git 
always crashes with out of (virtual) memory, i.e. it wants to use more than 4g 
of address space on import.

I would recommend that you just build your own. It's really not that difficult 
to do,
only 0.001% of the people that use git need a 64-bit version, and deploying a
multi-arch package of git would double the size of the download (and the 
install).
