Since the client and server are the same machine:

I'd bet Sitaram has two installations of git, and plain ssh to the
machine points to the old one (like a $PATH set in ~/.login and not
~/.profile or something like that).

Oh, indeed. I didn't notice that his host was @localhost. :)

But yes, that would be my guess, as well. Trying "ssh sitaram@localhost
git version" would be a good clue.
