I downloaded and installed the latest Git version 1.8.4.2 from http://git-scm.com. I expected various third party Git modules such as Subtree to be available in /usr/local/git/contrib for installation. However, the contrib folder only contains a single folder (completion) inside of it and no other files or folders.
So I have two questions:
Why are modules missing from the contrib folder?
How do I install Subtree in absence of the same from the contrib folder? (I would prefer installing Subtree from official Git source rather than from https://github.com/apenwarr/git-subtree which is now an obsolete repo)
BTW, I'm running OS X Mavericks
