Your git-upload-pack cannot find git-pack-objects.  It sounds like
Git was incorrectly installed on your system.

  which git-upload-pack ?
  which git ?
  are they in the same directory?
  did you possibly move git after installing it?

  git --exec-path?
  does that exist?
  does it have git-pack-objects inside it?

I think it is the upgrade.  It sounds like its not installed correcly
because the helpers in libexec/git-core cannot be found.
