On a related note, is it just me, or is the following comment and related code
in git.c (introduced by Linus in 231af832) totally bogus:

  /*
   * We search for git commands in the following order:
   *  - git_exec_path()
   *  - the path of the "git" command if we could find it
   *    in $0
   *  - the regular PATH.
   */

We never actually look in the regular PATH since we call execv_git_cmd
(although we do still munge the PATH, apparently so shell scripts can
use git-foo syntax; see 77cb17e9). This means you can't drop "git-foo"
into your PATH and have it work as "git foo".

What is the desired behavior?
