Not at all.
For one thing, hooks do run under modified PATH, as already pointed out in
the earlier thread.
Test scripts are executed in a special environment whose GIT_EXEC_PATH
points at the top of the build tree, where all git-foo lives.
Before anybody greps in Documentation/ to make pointless noises about some
dashed-form git-foo in there when we do not talk about what the user types
but about a command as a concept in manual pages, they are left in dashed
form deliberately, partly to help manpage browsers crosslink across pages.
We could have described typographic convention,

but we ended up not doing so.
