[Christopher Gutteridge]

Hmm. Perl, PHP & Python were still installed, but yes, git had gone.

And Jules, all I see in the 
https://help.apple.com/osx-mavericks/whats-new-from-lion page is "Coming 
Soon". Heh.

IIRC, that resulted in a 4.2.1 which devs could patch on top of 4.2, and the public release being 4.2.1. But that was iOS and they could do OS X differently. Potentially a "supplemental update"? I don't recall a change to an OS X GM in all the time I've been beta testing them.
