I think a better default would be "git", so if a newer git gets
installed in /usr/local/bin then gitweb would notice automatically.

Wait, that's quite wrong.  What I was forgetting about is the case
where the webmaster does not control the web hosting but just has a
place to drop CGI scripts under ~/public_html/cgi-bin.  In such a case
it would be very convenient that "make install-gitweb" just does the
right thing (including using a private copy of git).

Right, "git" might not be in PATH of a web server (which can have
reduced PATH for security reasons anyway).
