Hmm, I am of two minds.

We encourage script writers to just prepend "git --exec-path" at the beginning of their PATH and give guarantee that this simple procedure will keep their scripts working, so it might be a good idea to have an example for that as well.

So the preferred fix might be just the matter of adding one line

	$ENV{'PATH'} = `git --exec-path`. ":$ENV{'PATH'}";

at the beginning of the script.
