Yes, but your shell seems to find git-diff somewhere, so what about: type --all git-diff echo $PATH
$ type --all git-diff bash: type: git-diff: not found $ echo $PATH /home/martin/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games there is _no other_ git-diff. It's bash magic. See http://popey.com/command_not_found Note that all the key commands work. I clone, diff, commit, push, merge daily on this machine.
OTOH: The git-pack-objects usage line indicates that you clearly have older plumbing lying around. I suspect there are at least 2 issues on that box.
Might be. Maybe ~/bin got cleaned up but not libexec? Or the bisecting back-and-forth left stray bits in ~/bin? cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@gmail.com martin@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff
