That invocation of ./git-fetch looks suspicious.

Are you sure that it internally invokes ./git-rev-list from the same
version that knows --verify-objects option (you just built in your current
directory), or is it invoking an old git-rev-list that is installed and is
reachable from your usual $PATH, which does not know that option yet?

When I try a new version that was just built in my current directory, here
is an incantation I use:

    GIT_EXEC_PATH=`pwd`
    PATH=`pwd`:/usr/bin:/bin
    GITPERLLIB=`pwd`/perl/blib/lib

    export GIT_EXEC_PATH PATH GITPERLLIB
