"git" binary will be found as /usr/bin/git while git-foo will be
found as /usr/libexec/git/git-foo in such an installation that
takes advantage of $(gitexecdir).  And /usr/libexec/git/git will
not exist.  Using existence of /usr/bin/git (I am referring to
your 'first directory on $PATH that contains the "git" binary'
above) as the cue for the location of "main commands" is wrong.

It's up to you.  Obviously, if you are replacing 2 patches out
of 100-patch series, you would not want to resend the whole
thing, though ;-)
