Hi,

I've been wondering if GIT_EXEC_PATH shouldn't be able to behave more
like the PATH env. variable?

it would allow for instance something like:

GIT_EXEC_PATH=/git/core:/usr/local/git/potty:/usr/lib/git

and naturally git <command> would do the correct thing given.

if so, definetly post 1.0 stuff.

any ideas?
