Git clone over ssh missing git-upload-pack

Question

Clone attempt over ssh:

Cloning into repo...
Password:
bash: git-upload-pack: command not found
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly


Chris-Muenchs-Mac-Book-Pro:rails_projects cmuench$ ssh chrismuench@example.com echo \$PATH
Password:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

the git stuff is in:

/usr/local/git/bin (Defined in:  /etc/paths.d/git)

How can I get this in the system wide path for all users without having to modify ~/.bash_profile?

What command would I do? export PATH=/usr/local/git/bin:$PATH? – Chris Muench Mar 09 '11 at 21:45
That didn't seem to do it... my path is still :/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin – Chris Muench Mar 09 '11 at 21:48

I ended up symlinking the git commands in to /bin

Not a workable solution for those without write access to /bin. – jrockway Nov 02 '11 at 18:57
