Which git version and which platform? There is code in run-command to
check for an exit code of 127 (which is what posix shells should produce
for a missing command), and to set ENOENT in that case, which is what
execv_dashed_external notices for a missing command.
So either your shell is producing that exit code for a different case,
or git is broken.
