If you can do that without breaking the tests (specifically, the
test script should pick up the version of git you just built,
not from /usr/bin nor /usr/local/stow/git/bin) that would be
great.

Sorry, I don't understand your statement. Do you see any tests breaking?

I guess what Junio is getting at: if your changes could lead to our not 
needing to hard code defaults, that would be awesome.

Yes.  Another thing I said was that it would be grave regression
for testability if the change leads git to look at somewhere
else other than it was told to look via GIT_EXEC_PATH
environment,
