+The git-annex.linux directory from the bundle does include a git, so if you
+put that directory in PATH first, it will avoid the problem.
+
+This should be a fairly transient problem, since the git-annex bundle is
+built with the version of git from debian unstable. Once the new git
+version gets released, it should fairly quickly get in there and the
+incompatability will stop being a problem.
