They were not expected to work: IIRC `git help whatever` just calls `man git-whaveter` internally, so you have to tinker with the MANPATH environment variable (rean the man(1) manual page). > I've set up an env var for GIT_EXEC_PATH and > GIT_TEMPLATE_PATH to point to the correct locations, but when I try > `git clone`, I get the following: > > [eric git]$ git clone https://e...@git.assembla.com/myproj.git > Cloning into 'myproj'... > Password for 'https://e...@git.assembla.com': > error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 401 > fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly > > In all fairness, I do not know if that is due to my package being > installed under my home dir vs standard dirs, or if there is a > firewall issue/etc, but I can confirm that a clone to that repo works > properly on another system.

Try running that same command while having the GIT_TRACE variable in your environment: $ export GIT_TRACE=1 $ git clone https://... In this case higher-level Git tools will print out what lower-level tools they call. And you did not tell if `git init` works for you. It's a major command and it's not supposed to access any remote repository so being able to run it successfully would be a good sign. --
