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
