Very weird. Just to rule out other scripts/binaries, do `which git` and `type git` return the things you'd expect?

cape% which git
/usr/local/bin/git
cape% type git
git is hashed (/usr/local/bin/hub)
cape% file `which git`
/usr/local/bin/git: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

Is the behaviour reproducible if you start a new login shell?

Any changes to shell config files in the last few hours?

I'd take a backup of .git immediately if I was you.

I'm on 1.8.2.1, and have had no issues.
