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
