I haven't found any other program that has this issue yet. It seems like a pretty unique situation, since it's basically a side effect of Git having aliases with lower precedence than executables. Most programs don't have that combination - they either don't have aliases at all, or their aliases have higher precedence than executables. > Don't check the > sanity of your PATH by testing how your shell looks up executables. I'm not claiming that it's sane to have a broken PATH, but as I mentioned in an earlier email, sometimes my PATH gets broken through no fault of my own, and it would be nice if Git could be more helpful in that case.
