(I remember darkly that was already discussed, but I cannot find the
thread ATM.)

Just to get the patch right:
If
 - PATH=$(HOME)/bin:/usr/bin
 - GIT_EXEC_PATH=/usr/bin

then gitk should use

	PATH=/usr/bin:$(HOME)/bin:/usr/bin

to call git-<command> and

	PATH=$(HOME)/bin:/usr/bin

to call the rest, right?

Best regards
