Have you tried

  $ ./git fetch git://repo.or.cz/git

But this would execute /usr/local/libexec/git-fetch, wouldn't it? That
is precisely what I don't want to execute, because I changed some code
in builtin/fetch.c that I want to test.

No, but only because fetch is a builtin. However, it still doesn't set
up exec_path correctly, so your rev-list problem would not go away.

I guess I'll have to either properly install git from 'next' or base my
changed on 'maint'

Just use bin-wrappers/git. That's exactly what it's there for (and it's
what the test scripts use to make sure we are testing what is compiled).

Your change isn't the problem; only your testing method.
