$ which git
/home/pi/bin/git

This is the version I have built myself from sources and it is 2.13
I installed it into the user space rather than into /usr/bin/

However if I do:
$ git --version
git version 2.1.4


But if I do:
$ /home/pi/bin/git --version
git version 2.13.0.311.g0339965

Do you now understand my confusion?
Executing git on the command line seems to execute the /usr/bin/git
instead of the first git on PATH! /home/pi/bin is first on $PATH

Seems like git is started in /usr/bin and there it is getting the
erroneous version information....
Why?
