Well, for a quick test to see if I haven't broken anything, I use a new shell and do ". ./+denv" in my git repository where that file has something like this:

        $ cat ./+denv
        :

        GIT_EXEC_PATH=`pwd`
        PATH=`pwd`:/usr/bin:/bin

        export GIT_EXEC_PATH PATH

So to a certain degree, yes I do care.
