Probably. For the case where length of a git-command-name +
--exec-prefix together are longer than PATH_MAX.

argv[i] is the command name, already as truncated as it can possibly
be: ls-files, ls-tree, etc. Besides, the second path removes this
access check altogether:

-	if (access(git_command, X_OK))
-		usage(exec_path, "'%s' is not a git-command", argv[i]);
-
 	/* execve() can only ever return if it fails */
 	execve(git_command, &argv[i], envp);
-	fprintf(stderr, "git: '%s': %s\n", git_command, strerror(errno));
+        if ( ENOENT == errno )
+		usage(exec_path, "'%s' is not a git-command", argv[i]);
+        else
+		fprintf(stderr, "git: '%s': %s\n", git_command, strerror(errno));


It still has the call to usage, though.
