Aaron, My apologies for the poorly phrased answer from my phone. There are two different base implementations of Git which can be used by the Git plugin.
The command line implementation is the default implementation. It assumes you have git 1.7.10 or newer and requires that git is installed locally. The pure Java implementation uses JGit and does not require a local git installation. However, it has fewer features than the command line implementation and is still somewhat of a work in progress. The simplest solution for you is probably an upgrade to a more recent version of git. http://adammonsen.com/post/665 gives hints how to upgrade git while keeping the rest of your system at Ubuntu 10.04. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11170623/trying-to-install-git-in-ubuntu-lucid-10-04-lts mentions the same technique as that blog posting.
