I almost hate to ask, but why are we differing from upstream here by
setting gitexecdir=%{_bindir}? Moving the git-* commands out of the
path has been on the agenda for git-1.6.0 for a long time. If distros
like Fedora and others just set gitexecdir like this we've effectively
negated upstream's intent to present less binaries in the users path.
For those folks that want to continue using the git-* form, the simple
solution is to add $(git --exec-path) to PATH.
If we want to not break anyone's scripts by default in the update to
git-1.6.0, we could add that to the PATH in the package rather than
keep all the git binaries in %{_bindir}. At least that way, those who
do not want or need all the extra commands there could just remove it
from their PATH. (Personally, I'd prefer to not even do that and
install git as closely to upstream as possible.)

Never argue with an idiot. First, they drag you down to their level,
then beat you with experience.
