When I joined here, one of the first tasks I had was to "verify if the existing system-wide Git installation works fine on the local Linux setup (of unknown qualities)". I couldn't think of anything better than to run the Git testsuite, but using the system-wide Git instead of locally compiled one. This extremely dirty patch achieves this; patch testsuite of Git version corresponding to the system-wide installation, of course. You will still need to make the test helpers. I don't have any real interest on developing this further or tidying it up, but I have thought that someone might find this useful to just use or push forward, so here it goes.

Perhaps a stupid question, but might it not be easier to add the git build dir to the front of the PATH, and then remove the explicit paths?
I realise that if the build was unsuccessful, you may end up executing a different version of git than you expect, though.
