I am not sure how GIT_EXEC_PATH is relevant. We put the git top-level
directory in the PATH, which is why "git-foo" works at all in the test
scripts. But the install by default does _not_ put those commands in
the PATH. So the test scripts serve as a poor example of how to use
git. The commands contained within them would not run in an ordinary git
installation.
