Plugin install from Github should fail with a message if Git is not installed
Reported by Matt Ryall | March 5th, 2011 @ 06:14 AM
Working on a new machine, I didn't have git installed when I was trying to install a rails plugin. Unfortunately, the plugin installation fails silently with no indication of what is happening:
$ r plugin install git://github.com/toland/app_version.git
$
It would be great if this failed with a meaningful message instead. Even just 'git is not installed' would do it.
Several other people have also had the same problem:

For what it is worth, attached a patch that checks (also looks for svn).
