well, I would be afraid to modify the environment for subprocesses.
It could hit back in certain situations, like with git filter-branch.

We could replace getenv() with a wrapper though.

Actually, the patch had to be updated when msysgit modifications were
rebased.  But yes, the number of call sites has not icreased: it was

now.  There is only one that is in common, though.
