Re: "git stash" is not known to git

This looks like an incorrect installation, with git-stash in your
$PATH, but not in the place git looks for its commands (I don't
remember the exact mechanism).

I don't think so: in git.c we have at lines 362ff

                { "show-branch", cmd_show_branch, RUN_SETUP },
                { "show", cmd_show, RUN_SETUP | USE_PAGER },
                { "stripspace", cmd_stripspace },
                { "symbolic-ref", cmd_symbolic_ref, RUN_SETUP },

So it really seems like stash is not known to git.c.  Of course, I
have no real clue about git.c's operation (or I'd have proferred a
patch) and not right now the time to look further.

That list is for builtins; git-stash is an external shell script. See
execv_git_cmd for the list of places where it is looking for git-stash.

Since I seem to recall you working some symlink magic with your
installation in a recent message, that might be related. Is it just
git-stash, or are other scripts failing (try "git status")?
