Hi, I'm not sure if this should be considered a bug or not, but I've noticed that when my $PATH contains an inaccessible directory, Git fails to execute aliases. For example: git config alias.l log git l # works fine PATH=boguspath:$PATH mkdir boguspath chmod 000 boguspath git l # fatal: cannot exec 'git-l': Permission denied I lean towards calling it a bug, since my shell doesn't seem to care if there are inaccessible directories in my $PATH. It just ignores them, and I think Git ought to do the same.
