Good catch. This shows a weakness in my detection script: I had a stale git-serve sitting around from building old versions of Git. :)

I repeated the script in a "clean" directory that was a fresh clone + make, and diffed the results. git-serve was the only interesting difference I saw. So this is probably the last of the low-hanging fruit.
