It is installed in a non-standard directory, /opt/csg/bin.  This is part 
of the system-wide PATH defined in /etc/bashrc.  I also added it to my 
~/.bashrc before I discovered that fact.

I did create symlinks in $HOME/local/bin which is in the PATH defined in 
my ~/.bashrc.  I do not have administrator privileges, so I cannot put 
symlinks in /usr/bin.  I think it is finding the executable just fine, 
but that there is some issue with accessing the repo directory.  I have 
tested with

 > ssh user@remote.system.edu -- "git-upload-pack"

and it works as expected.

I've skimmed it, and I see nothing related to my problem.  Specifying 
--upload-pack explicitly gives the same error.

Thank you for the response, though.  Are there any other ideas?
