Download link on Sourceforge is outdated (2.15.0 vs 2.27.0)

[dsrkane]

The latest download link on Sourceforge does not download the latest version (instead downloads a version from 3 years ago/13 versions in the past).

https://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/files/latest/download points to git-2.15.0-intel-universal-mavericks.dmg, not git-2.27.0-intel-universal-mavericks.dmg, which is the actual latest version.

Spent a good half hour wondering why git --version was pointing at the wrong git when which git swore blind it was the correct one - turns out git --version was correct, it just wasn't the download I had expected.

See the "Project Activity" section on the same page which lists other releases. I installed the most recent one (2.27) from https://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/files/git-2.27.0-intel-universal-mavericks.dmg/download.

Note: The installer loaded into /usr/local/git by default. I then had to add the Git folder at beginning of PATH (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3623739/locate-git-installation-folder-on-mac-os-x)
PATH="/usr/local/git/bin:${PATH}"

Had the same issue, and I proceeded to download the previous version (2.32 for me), since upon using IntelliJ it kept telling me to reconfigure to version 2.17 or above. Only then had I found, that I had downloaded an outdated version of Git.
