That was the last I looked at git until Tuesday of this week.

Yes, and some of the test scripts still have git-* in them. I think in that respect, the git community has been very bad about eating our own

Not at all.

For one thing, hooks do run under modified PATH, as already pointed out in

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.
