I simply assumed that he was a correct install but for whatever crazy
reason is running /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-cvsimport directly from
the command line.  That usage won't be helped with the git wrapper at all.

I suspect shell scripted Porcelains like "git-pull" have the same issue,
as we do not seem to have "prepend to PATH" in git-sh-setup.sh at all.
Some like git-gui and instaweb do protect themselves, though.
