This only silences the warning, but there is no guarantee that the

The good thing: it still works. Why? Because Git actually does _not_
search the Git binaries in libexec/git-core. It adds that directory to
PATH and lets the PATH lookup handle the searching. So it kind of works,
but in a different manner than you think it works.
I see why it works: Because we add argv0_path to PATH. I had forgotten
about this fact. It comes after git_exec_path(), and so we pick up the
binaries and shell scripts from the build directory if there is nothing
in $prefix/libexec/git-core.
It's sad that your patch requires the source to live in a directory
named 'git'. But I don't know how to do it better. :-(
