Does any of the other shell-scripts work without dashes? E.g. commit, merge, am, checkout?

If they do, then probably you are invoking older versions of these scripts than what you think you are. "git" itself looks at GIT_EXEC_PATH and then the $(gitexecdir) from the Makefile when it was built for its subcommands.

Perhaps this is your "symlinked install" gone awry?  I dunno.
