I'm setting gitexecdir different from bindir in my installation, and  
here are the things that don't work:

- When pushing to my system over ssh, git-receive-pack and git-upload- 
pack are expected to be in $PATH.  I resolved the problem by putting  
symlinks in /usr/local/bin.

I haven't seen any other problems, but then again, I only use git  
plumbing commands and my own scripts.
