Try

  GIT_TRACE=1 git <rest of the command>

and, among other things, you'll see something like

  11:20:12.013785 run-command.c:663       trace: run_command: unset GIT_PREFIX; ssh git@github.com 'git-receive-pack '\''/szeder/git'\'''

in its output (this was for a 'git push').

See 'man git' for possible values for GIT_TRACE.
