I had a similar problem. The cause was an old git.el I had lying
around. You should check if vc-git works when you turn off all
customization, i.e. with emacs -Q. Another possible source of old git
support files might be your OS. Debian and friends automatically
install git support for emacs along with the git package. Loading it
is disabled here for Emacs 23, though (Ubuntu Jaunty).
HTH,
