git_packages:
- git
- git-svn
The specific Git packages that will be installed. By default, git-svn

if desired.

git_install_path: "/usr"
git_version: "2.1.0"

defines where git should be installed.

MIT / BSD
This role was originally created in 2014 by Jeff Geerling, author of Ansible for DevOps.
Forked by @ocean to remove the subversion-perl
package requirement when building from source, as it no longer exists and was breaking my playbook runs on my Oracle Linux 7.2 box.
