Thanks.

"git --exec-path" means to print the name of the directory where git
stores its subcommands and other helpers.  I have no thoughts either
way about whether a user typing

	git --exec-p<TAB>

is more likely to be asking for the current exec-path or intending to
override it.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
