Dear All

Thanks for your comments.

 git-pull is 755, and I can run /path/to/git-pull (I get an error and it
 crashes, but I have the permission).

That's not supposed to happen, what does it say? Also, is it possible
you have an old git install lying around? It might be that it's partly
using the old, and partly using the new install.

Your error comes from run-command.c:290 - Maybe it tries to execute
git-pull and (wrongly) reports that it wasn't able to execute it? What
error (and return status) do you get when you execute the script
yourself?
It looks like there's something wrong with your installation of Git.
Perhaps you'd like to re-install
   

The error is like this:

     $ /opt/libexec/git-core/git-pull
     /opt/libexec/git-core/git-pull: line 11: git-sh-setup: No such file 
or directory

I'm calling git-pull from my clone of the repos, so I don't have 
git-sh-setup in my current directory.  That all seems fine: I imagine 
git-pull is not intended to be called directly.

The git is a recent install from source, on a Centos machine.  There was 
no git previous.

As for reinstalling: unless something else is broken, I'm happy with 
"git fetch; git merge origin".  However, I should like to understand why 
git pull is not working.

Best wishes

Ivan
