In HP-UX many commands (or "subsystems") use /opt/<subsys>/{bin,sbin} to place their binaries. PATH usually does not contain all of them. That's against Linux philosophy I think, and I really don't like huge PATHs, but it may be one solution to reduce the size of linear lists. It won't help against the git<TAB><TAB> issue directly, however.
/opt is part of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard which defines layouts on Linux systems. It is generally not used for binaries included in distributions or otherwise managed via distribution package managers, however.
