I think I know what's up.

Your "sudo" made "$HOME" be /root. So by doing "sudo make install", you
installed the git in _roots_ ~/bin, ie /root/bin/.

Doh... not sure to follow you, just did:
sudo make install
paolo@Italia:~/git$ ls /root/
paolo@Italia:~/git$ git --version
git version 1.3.GIT

And even more intersting:
make clean && make && sudo make install
git --version
git version 1.3.GIT

make install
[...]
mv git-cherry-pick+ git-cherry-pick
mv: sovrascrivo `git-cherry-pick' ignorando il modo 0755?
that in english is something like:
mv: overwrite `git-cherry-pick' ignoring mod 0755?

Wow...of course, make clean && make install fix everything

Ciao,
