I first tried install from git yesterday and couldn't get past the log
level error. What was incredibly bizarre was that today, I tried loading
test.php again without changing any horde settings and I suddenly didn't
get the log level error. The only thing I can think of was that I had
changed some Apache or PHP setting which didn't take effect immediately,
though I was sure I had reloaded the Apache configuration at the time.

However, I then made the mistake of running git pull and all kinds of new
things broke. I realized the framework libraries had probably gotten out
of
sync with the horde package, so I removed all of the framework packages I
had installed using the "bin/pear_batch_install" script yesterday. Then, I
used the install_framework script to install symlinks in a directory
called
"libs" under the horde module's as recommended by
<URL:http://wiki.horde.org/Doc/Dev/FrameworkH4> and added that directory
to
the PHP include_path.

So right now, I'm back to getting a "Bad log level" page from
horde/test.php
but at least now there's more detail on that page compared to what I got
yesterday.

So, to answer your question, the git checkout is definitely very up to
date.
