Chef cookbook - Installs Tig from source.
Tested on Debian Squeeze. Should work fine on Ubuntu, Centos, Debian, etc.
tig[:repository] - git repository to clone
tig[:dir] - location where node will be installed, default /usr/local
tig[:revision] - branch name to checkout
Include the tig recipe to your run list to install tig from source on your system:
