Dear Hannes

Yes, you have pinpointed it. I installed as root, but I thought I had followed the other instructions (using ./configure) and did

    # make configure
    # ./configure --prefix=/opt
    # make
    # make install

In any case, I have deleted everything and reinstalled properly. Now git pull is working as it should.

Thank you all for your patience and help.

Best wishes

Ivan
