Yes they do. I mentioned it but I didn't think it was the reason
behind the problem.

Well, I would say go "find / git-diff-index", or simply nuke anything
git you find and do a clean install... "find"ing the left over bits
would help making sure that git's own search path is OK.

well, that's not what happens when people bisect back and forth. It
used to be reasonably safe, it got unsafe when we moved lots of things
to libexec (and therefore the make install target got a nice warning
message about it). Now there might something acting up again.

Alas, I didn't keep a backup of my libexec :-/
