No. To do that, you would need to set up an alternate directory at the
head of the PATH with 'git' in it (and git-*, for everything we want to
intercept, which I think would be all builtins, but probably not scripts
(unless you want to run valgrind on perl or bash, which is probably not
useful to us)).

I started down that route, but it was a little ugly. How do we make that
directory? Where is it stored? Is it generated each time the test script
is run, or part of the Makefile?
