Run pacman -Qk to see if anything else is borked, and reinstall git with pacman -S git.

Hi,

problem is solved. Only reinstall git didn't work because of dependency issues.

I have remove the files manually:

sudo rm -R /usr/bin/git*
sudo rm -R /usr/lib/git-core

After this, i did a

pacman -S git

And it was working again....

Thanks...
