Commit aae9560a introduced search in $PATH to find executables before running them, avoiding an issue where on Windows a same named file in the current directory can be executed in preference to anything on the path. The updated search excludes files given with an absolute path (e.g., /bin/sh). However this change precludes operation of hook scripts as these are named with a relative path (.git/hooks/$HOOK), while a search on $PATH can succeed only for bare file names, not relative paths. Furthermore, the current repository's .git/hooks directory is in general not listed in PATH.

Fix this by changing the "absolute" check to a check for more than one component in the pathname, thereby avoiding the PATH check for anything given with a relative path as well. Bare "git" has one component, "/sh" has two components, and .git/hooks/$HOOK has more than two, so relative and absolute pathnames avoid the check.
