How does it calculate its exec path? It would appear that it would not contain _either_ /usr/local/bin _or_ /opt/git/bin in my installation if it can't find git-stash (which should be statable in both places).

Have a command handy for checking the exec path?

Ok, this is pretty much idle speculation until I am back at the system in question, but I have problems envisioning just what kind of goof might have happened here.
