In case somebody is thinking about 36e5e70e0f40 (Start deprecating
"git-command" in favor of "git command"), that is a somewhat different

commands _anywhere_ on the filesystem.  Not just "out of user's PATH".
That is not deprecating dash form but removing the support for it.  We
need to give ample time for users to adjust to such a change.

A little note on this one. I've been using git without builtin links
for a while with my git-box port. There are still some builtin fixups
needed. And because execv_git_cmd() always uses dash form, so it's
impossible to use vanilla git without builtin links.
