I have no idea how cg-* is broken, so I'll let Pasky answer
that, but I suspect your git installation is broken.

That sounds intersting.  Although rsync is deprecated for a long
time and git:// is the preferred transport, I do not get "is not
a git-command" error.  Are you installing things correctly?

For example, as the first paragraph of INSTALL says, if you
override prefix= from the make command line, you need to do so
consistently when you build and when you install.

What do these command say?

	$ git --exec-path
	$ ls -l "`git --exec-path`/git-clone"
