I just upgraded my Mac to Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion), and now Git is gone:

$ git
-bash: git: command not found

How can I get Git back?

The default install location is /usr/local, so add this to your ~/.bash_profile file:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/git/bin/

Then run source ~/.bash_profile in Terminal.
