I suspect it is the usual unaligned access issue and I > will debug it further soon. As a followup this turned out to be the classic "PATH when doing GIT over SSH" problem. I have to say this is very unfun to debug, and even less fun to "fix" even once you know this is the problem. And what's more I know this is the second time I've had to spend a night debugging this very problem. I ended up having to make a ~/.ssh/environment file and then restart my SSH server with "PermitUserEnvironment yes" added to sshd_config. But I can't believe this is what I have to do just to pull from a machine where I have GIT only installed in my home directory. What if I were just a normal user and couldn't change the SSHD config? What hoops would I need to jump through to get my PATH setup correctly? :) It doesn't even work to put ~/bin into the PATH listed in the system wide /etc/environment, because that does not do tilde expansion, SSHD just takes it as-is. Wouldn't it make sense to put the bindir into PATH when we try to do execv_git_cmd()? The code has already put the gitexecdir into the PATH at this point. Thanks!
