Even if no one decides to do the getenv hunting (I haven't decided yet whether it's worth the trouble, though patches like the setup_path() one that make string lifetimes clearer are valuable anyway), this looks useful as a debugging tool when people on strange platforms report problems. And unlike the trick I sent a while ago, it doesn't involve recompiling git. So for what it's worth,
