And even more intersting:
make clean && make && sudo make install
git --version
git version 1.3.GIT

make install
[...]
mv git-cherry-pick+ git-cherry-pick
mv: sovrascrivo `git-cherry-pick' ignorando il modo 0755?

mv: overwrite `git-cherry-pick' ignoring mod 0755?

Wow...of course, make clean && make install fix everything
