That would remove the possibility to run "git-push" in my scenario. And what is the benefit? Wasting CPU cycles to an extra execve? Duplicating git --exec-path to PATH?

Personally I recommend to always run git helper programs with absolute path, this would remove all confusions, not play with users' PATH environment, and save CPU cycles.
