git programs exec other git programs, but they also exec non-git
programs.  I think it is not appropriate to change PATH (via
prepend_to_path) because this may result in unexpected behavior when
exec'ing non-git programs:

This is a valid concern.

Why? If what is prepended to PATH only contains git programs?

If git is installed with prefix=/usr, then that won't be the case.
