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.
