What happens if you run "git pull"? If you get an error, can you try to
run "GIT_TRACE=1 git pull"? Git should then print out exactly what it is
trying to exec that is failing.

Not very exciting:

$ GIT_TRACE=1 git pull
trace: exec: 'git-pull'
trace: run_command: 'git-pull'
fatal: cannot exec 'git-pull': Permission denied

Then the next thing to try is probably (assuming you are running Linux):

  strace -f -e execve git pull

Though I suspect we may just see:

  execve("/opt/libexec/git-core/git-core/git-pull", ...) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

which doesn't help much. I just want to be sure that is the source of
the problem.
