Let PATH0=$PATH that was set before the invocation.
Let /foo be a build directory.
Let /pfx be the installation prefix.
Let pfxexecpath=/pfx/libexec/git-core.
The following is going on when 'git --exec-path=/foo gc' is invoked:
1. git sets PATH=/foo:$PATH0 using the path from --exec-path
2. gc execs 'git repack' (note: no dash).
3. Since there is a git in /foo (it's a build directory), /foo/git is
taken.
4. No explicit exec-path is set this time, hence, this secondary git sets
PATH=$pfxexecpath:/foo:$PATH
5. Since 'repack' is not a built-in, execv_dashed_external execs
'git-repack' (note: dash).
6. There is a $pfxexecpath/git-repack, and it is taken.
7. This git-repack runs 'git pack-objects' (note: no dash).
8. There is no git in $pfxexecpath, but there is one in /foo. Hence,
/foo/git is run.
9. pack-objects is a builtin, hence, in effect /foo/git-pack-objects
is run.
As you can see, the way in which we previously set the PATH allowed to
mix gits of different vintage. By setting GIT_EXEC_PATH when --exec-path
was given on the command line, we reduce the confusion.

Many call sites use strbuf_init(&foo, 0) to initialize local
strbuf variable "foo" which has not been accessed since its
declaration. These can be replaced with a static initialization
using the STRBUF_INIT macro which is just as readable, saves a
function call, and takes up fewer lines.

prepare_git_cmd(const char **argv) adds a first entry "git" to
the array argv. The new array is allocated on the heap. It's
the caller's responsibility to release it with free(). The code
was already present in execv_git_cmd() but could not be used from
outside. Now it can also be called for preparing the command list
in the MinGW codepath in run-command.c.

This function had used make_absolute_path(); but this function dies if
the directory that contains the entry whose relative path was supplied in
the argument does not exist. This is a problem if the argument is, for
example, "../libexec/git-core", and that "../libexec" does not exist.
Since the resolution of symbolic links is not required for elements in
PATH, we can fall back to using make_nonrelative_path(), which simply
prepends $PWD to the path.
We have to move make_nonrelative_path() alongside make_absolute_path() in
abspath.c so that git-shell can be linked. See 5b8e6f85f.

If GIT_EXEC_PATH (the macro that is defined in the Makefile) is relative,
it is interpreted relative to the command's invocation path, which usually
is $(bindir).
The Makefile rules were written with the assumption that $(gitexecdir) is
an absolute path. We introduce a separate variable that names the
(absolute) installation directory.

$(gitexecdir) (as defined in the Makefile) has gained another path
component, but the relative paths in the MINGW section of the Makefile,
which are interpreted relative to it, do not account for it.
Instead of adding another ../ in front of the path, we change the code that
constructs the absolute paths to do it relative to the command's directory,
which is essentially $(bindir). We do it this way because we will also
allow a relative $(gitexecdir) later.

We will need the command invocation path in system_path(). This path was
passed to setup_path(), but system_path() can be called earlier, for
example via:
main
commit_pager_choice
setup_pager
git_config
git_etc_gitconfig
system_path
Therefore, we introduce git_set_argv0_path() and call it as soon as
possible.

Expanding system paths relative to git_exec_path can be used for
creating an installation that can be moved to a different directory
without re-compiling. We use this approach for template_dir and the
system wide gitconfig. The Windows installer (msysgit) is an example
for such a setup.
This commit moves common code to a new function system_path(). System
paths that are to be interpreted relative to git_exec_path are passed to
system_path() and the return value is used instead of the original path.
system_path() prefixes a relative path with git_exec_path and leaves
absolute paths unmodified. For example, we now write
template_dir = system_path(DEFAULT_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR);

builtin_exec_path returns the hard-coded installation path, which is used
as the ultimate fallback to look for git commands. Making it into a function
enables us in a follow-up patch to return a computed value instead of just
a constant string.

Currently, execv_git_cmd() always try running the dashed form, which
means we cannot easily remove the git-foo hardlinks for built-in
commands. This updates the function to always exec "git foo" form, and
makes sure "git" potty does not infinitely recurse to itself.

We need to correctly set up $PATH for non-c based git commands.
Since we already do this, we can just use that $PATH and execvp,
instead of looping over the paths with execve.
This patch adds a setup_path() function to exec_cmd.c, which sets
the $PATH order correctly for our search order. execv_git_cmd() is
stripped down to setting up argv and calling execvp(). git.c's
main() only only needs to call setup_path().

This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when
the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified
easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including
idiotic conversions like
if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3))
=>
if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo")))
This was done by using this script in px.perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p
if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) {
s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|;
}
if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) {
s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|;
}
and running:
$ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl

We broke the discipline Linus set up to allow compiler help us
avoid typos in environment names in the early days of git over

system.
I've left out variable names specific to subsystems such as HTTP

Now if GIT_TRACE is set to an integer value greater than 1
and lower than 10, we interpret this as an open fd value
and we trace into it. Note that this behavior is not
compatible with the previous one.
We also trace whole messages using one write(2) call to
make sure messages from processes do net get mixed up in
the middle.
It's now possible to run the tests like this:

The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as
git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for
logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not
desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's
intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH.
- git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands.
- exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in
the following directories:
1. --exec-path (as used by "git")
2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable.
3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)).
- git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to
invoke "git-foo" commands.
Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent
of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.
