Found it! A forgotten package I created, a collective of shell scripts, was setting GIT_EXEC_PATH=/usr/local/bin.

Given that /usr/local/bin/*git* has not existed on my systems for a long time, it appears that this is a new behavior, being a bit more strict in complaining about an invalid GIT_EXEC_PATH, rather than simply falling back to the internal compiled default (/usr/libexec/git-core).

Things are working again now that the local GIT_EXEC_PATH export is removed.
