Hello,
when using
Transitional> git pull ssh://user@host.xz/~/path/to/Transitional master
on a remote machine I get

Password: bash: git-upload-pack: command not found fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

On both machines I have version 1.5.4.3 installed, but this behaviour was never different in the past (I'm using git for 8 months; to circumvent the error I always created a copy of the remote repository and then pulled locally).

It might be some path issue, but I don't find anything in the documentation on how to instruct the remote machine where actually to find git.

Hope that somebody can enable me to use "git pull" as it should be.
