Good call!

	main::(/home/gitte/bin/git-add--interactive:8):
	8:      my ($prompt_color, $header_color, $help_color, $normal_color);
	  DB<1> x \&Git::get_colorbool
	0  CODE(0x853b25c)
	   -> &CODE(0x853b25c) in ???
	  DB<2>   x \&Git::repository
	0  CODE(0x833e8ac)
	   -> &Git::repository in 
	/home/gitte/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i586-linux-thread-multi/Git.pm:145-217

So it seems that somehow on 8. Nov 10:42 Git.pm was installed into 
i586-linux-thread-multi/ and is preferred over the Git.pm which was 
installed on 6. Dec 12:24 into site_perl/5.8.8/.

I have no idea how that happened on Nov 8, could be that I was desperate 
enough to hand-copy Git.pm there.  Git.pm seems to hate me (this was not 
the first time I had problems with it).
