I want to use emacs and magit on my raspberrypi. Magit requires git 1.9.4 or above. I tried this :
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25088554/how-to-install-git-1-8-or-above-on-debian-wheezy
But the backport goes to git 1.9.1...
Any ideas ?

You can build from source by executing the followings :
sudo apt-get install gettext
wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.9.4.tar.xz
tar -xvf git-1.9.4.tar.xz #or tar -xvf git-1*
If you check the site https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ you can see many other distributions and you can choose any of them.
cd git-1.9.4/ #or cd git-*
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gitconfig=/etc/gitconfig
make
sudo make install
You can check your version of git by :
git --version
