Re: aliases causing “Permission denied” error in git v1.7

Thank you very much, Jeff and Junio!

Not only I discovered more than one directory mentioned in the $PATH,
but missing, but also learned a lot, including the strace tool.

Cheers, Alexei

I do not know why my response is not showing up in the list archive, but
the complaint was that "git co" works for him and "sudo git co" does not.

I suspect that Alexsey will see differences between these:

   $ sh -c 'echo $PATH $HOME'
   $ sudo sh -c 'echo $PATH $HOME'

Most likely, the latter would say /root/bin and /root; if an element in
the $PATH is unreadable, git would say "cannot exec 'git-co': Permission denied".
