Sorry, that came out a muddle.  Teemu Likonen explains the rule[1]

proposing changing the beginning of git scripts to

 . "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-setup"

to set a good example, which would be a regression in git's ability
to complain when used in a fragile way.

So, Todd: thanks for a very useful reminder.
