In HP-UX many commands (or "subsystems") use /opt/<subsys>/{bin,sbin} to place

philosophy I think, and I really don't like huge PATHs, but it may be one solution 
to reduce the size of linear lists. It won't help against the git<TAB><TAB> issue 
directly, however.
In HP-UX, the default shell has a line length limit that is smaller than
the length of $PATH.  Be in awe of enterprise scalability.
