As promised, here is the patch to fix the regression caused by commit 837f637cf5 ("meson.build: correct setting of GIT_EXEC_PATH", 2025-05-19).

I compared the meson and corresponding make installations, which shows (in addition to fixing the regression):

  - the make install includes 'gitk' and 'git-gui' which is
    missing from the meson install.
  - the make install includes all of the 'builtin' commands
    in the 'library executables' (e.g. git-add), which the
    meson install omits. (I thought we had stopped 'installing'
    the builtins).
  - the make install uses hard links whereas meson uses symbolic
    links.
  - meson omits the Irish translation (see patch #2).

I noticed some other problems, which I was chasing to see if I could fix them here, but it was taking me down an unexpectedly deep rabit hole, so ...

ATB, Ramsay Jones
