That is probably out of date, and I'd suggest reporting it to the
appropriate spot, which is _probably_ https://github.com/git/git-scm.com
(although it might be a separate repo).  The git-all package has had
this problem for some time now, so I wouldn't recommend it as the
default option.

If everything's working for you, there's no need to change it.  It's
_possible_ to install git-all and not have this problem, but because of
the way modern versions of Debian and the packages in question are
configured it ends up tending to have this problem by default.

In this case, it may be that git-daemon is installed but not configured
to start, or it may have been removed when you reinstalled GNOME since
it's not a hard dependency.
