Comment (by ken-cunningham-webuse):

 so I just tried this on 10.6.8, using an installed version of git at
 /usr/bin/git that is older now (2011)
 {{{

 $ /usr/bin/git --version
 git version 1.7.5.4
 }}}

 and it works fine

 I notice you have macports installed in your home directory, so my guess
 is it is a permissions problem (macports would be running git as the
 macports user most likely).

 So I would try either working out the chain of permissions (ugh), or
 installing macports in /opt/something  (like /opt/local) or in
 /Users/Shared or somewhere where the permissions issue wouldn't be a
 problem.
