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.
