Re: [PATCH] (Updated) Exec git programs without using PATH.

I briefly tried to consider if I could hide the various fork()+exec()
sequences behind something like the run_command*() interfaces (which
would move us down the direction of something "spawn()"-like).  I found
that there's a lot of variation between the various paths in terms of
what happens between fork() and exec() on the various paths that does
not lend itself to such consolidation.

I'd love to be convinced otherwise.

Unfortunately I am with Michal on this one (both "eh, I do not
think that is feasible" and "I'd love to be...").

The run_command*() interfaces and its users were the best I
could come up with as far as such consolidations could go when I
did it.
