Why are you doing a "sudo" when you install in your own ~/bin (the default
for git).
Good question :-)
Just because I'm used to do that but you are absolutelly right saying
that is wrong.
The whole point of installing in ~/bin is to not need any elevated
priorities.

I get the feeling that you might have installed something in /usr/bin/ or
/usr/local/bin earlier, and that they are before ~/bin in your PATH.
I don't think so since:
paolo@Italia:~/git$ which git
/home/paolo/bin/git

But I'll do a make && make install in a minute.

Thanks!
