I only eyeball-tested it and looks Okay, but that does not assure us
much ;-).  Is this change easy to test using local transport?
Seems like it breaks down with git-shell.  But then, I think that we just 
have to fix execv_git_cmd() to call builtins via "git" instead.
So in execv_git_cmd(), instead of doing the strbuf_addf(), we do
something like this (and drop your patch)?
You know what is really funny?  I have this in my stash:

Which looks awfully like your patch (except that I called it new_argv, I 
think).

Now you might ask why there is such a funny patch to t0020?  Well, the 
patch does not work as-is.

Will investigate right now,
