> Is this by design, or a bug? I currently do not see a reason for git stop executing an alias just because it cannot access a directory in PATH. Strangely, I also haven't found any discussion about this on the mailing list yet.
If you look at start_command(), `git br` ends up as execvp call
returning EACCESS in the given case whereas only ENOENT was "expected".
This happens before git tries to resolve the alias.
Could it be a legit assumption that PATH holds only accessible paths?
(POSIX?) Otherwise it's a bug.
