this is the solution I was looking for (but I where not sure that it worked).

Well, the server is a very old machine and I didn't find easy to
compile git on it because of many missing dependencies (but I didn't
try very hard either). A better solution would be to upgrade the
server. But your solution is perfect meanwhile.
