From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx>
The default location for `.exe` files linked by Visual Studio depends on
the mode (debug vs release) and the architecture. Meaning: after a full
build, there is a `git.exe` in the top-level directory, but none of the
built-ins are linked..
When running a test script in Git Bash, it therefore would pick up the
wrong, say, `git-receive-pack.exe`: the one installed at the same time
as the Git Bash.
Absolutely not what we want. We want to have confidence that our test
covers the MSVC-built Git executables, and not some random stuff.
