I just do 'git checkout <version I want> && make && make install'.

See $ which git-cat-file $ which git /home/martin/bin/git $ git --exec-path /home/martin/libexec/git-core

I can't see anything suspicious in my install.

$ find / -name git-cat-file 2>/dev/null /home/martin/libexec/git-core/git-cat-file /home/martin/src/git/git-cat-file /usr/share/doc/mercurial/examples/git-viz/git-cat-file

cheers,
