How did you install git? From a binary package, from a tarball, from a
clone? If built, how did you build it? Any config.mak options, did you
use ./configure, etc? What version of git is it?
Is it possible for you to strace the clone process to see where it is
trying to find index-pack? Something like:
strace -f -e execve git clone
should do it.

That might work, but if this is a bug in the build or installation
system, it will be nice to track it down before you scrap the current
setup.
