Yeah, for the EPEL-5 packages, we chose to keep gitexecdir = /usr/bin, so that people updating wouldn't find any scripts broken by the change to /usr/libexec/git-core. This should be good for folks updating from older EPEL packages but not as hot for anyone that had rolled their own from git.git, unfortunately. On the upside, I think that should affect relatively few commands. If you have particular examples, perhaps they are things we can provide better work-arounds for in the EPEL packages?
