The point is that the user does not call "ssh" itself, but git-send-pack does it automatically.

And that means that git-send-pack will always do the same thing, for any host it is given. If one host needs a special PATH, that's an effing pain.

However, Kees Cook points out that it's driver error: I set up my PATH in .bash_profile, and if I just do it in .bashrc instead it all works.

Danke,
