Concerning $GIT_EXEC_PATH .. is that supposed to be a $PATh like variable? as in can it have more than one path (colon-separated)? I have currently two directories there (one with a git-annex installation, one with the normal git stuff) and it seems to mostly work. However git-sh-setup is unhappy: > % git pull --rebase > /opt/local/libexec/git-core/git-sh-setup: line 46: /opt/local/libexec/git-core:/Applications/git-annex.app/Contents/MacOS//git-sh-i18n: No such file or directory Christoph ``` ## Kevin Daudt, 2017-04-18 16:49 Subject: Re: GIT_EXEC_PATH Message-ID: <20170418164917.GA24697@alpha.ikke.info> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20170418164917.GA24697%40alpha.ikke.info In-Reply-To: ``` On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 01:47:14PM +0200, Christoph Egger wrote: > Hi! > > Concerning $GIT_EXEC_PATH .. is that supposed to be a $PATh like variable? as in can it have more than one path (colon-separated)?
