It may be useful to know which shell Git was built to try to point to, in the event that shell-based Git commands are failing. $SHELL_PATH is set during the build and used to launch the manpage viewer, as well as by git-compat-util.h, and it's used during tests. 'git version --build-options' is encouraged for use in bug reports, so it makes sense to include this information there.
