And here it is.

These two patches are clean-ups that are worth doing whether we decide to remove on-disk binaries for the builtin commands.

I droped the third one, that actually stops users from running built-in commands using the dashed form, at least for now. It can be resurrected later if we really wants to propose removal to the users, but I am not inclined to make such a proposal right now.

Junio C Hamano (2):
  transport-helper: do not run git-remote-ext etc. in dashed form
  cvsexportcommit: do not run git programs in dashed form
