I have this script as "rungit" on my PATH and "rungit -l" shows 110+
variants.  So at least there are two ;-)

#!/bin/sh

		exit 1

	esac
	variant=$1
	shift
	;;
esac &&
case "$variant" in
-l)
	for d in "$RUNGIT_BASE/"git-*/bin/git
	do
		d=$(basename ${d%/bin/git})
		d=${d#git-}
		d=${d#snap-}
		echo "$d"
	done
	exit

	variant=${variant#git-} ;;
v[0-9]*)
