I understand. Version 1.6.1.3 is from February 2009, so is rather
old.

It might be possible for you to upgrade only the git package, without
needing to upgrade the full distribution.

When I ran Slackware I could download a newer package, such as:

http://slackware.mirrors.easynews.com/linux/slackware/slackware-13.37/slackware/d/git-1.7.4.4-i486-1.txz

And then simply run

upgradepkg git-1.7.4.4-i486-1.txz

But I do not know if this still works. Could be worth a try!
