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.
