Me too.

In fact people can easily end up unintentionally using different
versions of GIT.  For example in my case I had the distribution's GIT
installed in /usr/bin/git et al., then I installed the current
upstream version of GIT in my home directory.

A different version of GIT gets used when you run things locally
vs. doing things remotely over SSH.  And I didn't notice this until I
uninstalled the git-core package on my system.
