Earlier, we tried to find the git commands in several possible exec

I'm tempted to try a different approach. What if instead of looping
and building up strings of all the different absolute paths we want
to try we just prepend to PATH with the correct extra precedence,
and then call execvp on the command we want?
That's how the original git --exec-dir feature got implemented. There's
even a nifty function for it in git.c; prepend_to_path(). It's a
provably workable solution.
