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,
