I don't know how you usually install git, but git-daemon is not
supposed to be in $PATH, the correct way to invoke the git daemon is
'git daemon' not 'git-daemon'

Having all subcommands of git as separate binaries in your $PATH is an
ancient git.git practice that stopped being used/supported quite a
while ago.

I don't know why this patch broke that obsolete practice, but hopefully
this can help you forward.
