Re: [PATCH] [GITK] use "git <command>" instead of "git-<command>"

Otherwise gitk is not able to work with installations using a gitexecdir
different from bindir.

For something like gitk that lives for some time and spawns git
number of times, it is considered a good practice to:

 (1) Run "git --exec-path" at the beginning, to learn
     GIT_EXEC_PATH;
 (2) Prepend that to PATH;
 (3) And invoke "git-foo" commands in the rest of the script.

(I remember darkly that was already discussed, but I cannot find the
thread ATM.)

Just to get the patch right:
If
 - PATH=$(HOME)/bin:/usr/bin
 - GIT_EXEC_PATH=/usr/bin

then gitk should use

	PATH=/usr/bin:$(HOME)/bin:/usr/bin

to call git-<command> and

	PATH=$(HOME)/bin:/usr/bin

to call the rest, right?

Best regards
Uwe
