These two patches are meant to fix the backwards compatibility of _git, and

Thanks.
Even though I think these two should be squashed into one "fix regression
that made _git and _gitk behave differently" commit (because otherwise the
result of applying the first one makes _git/_gitk disappear, shifting the
breakage from "older usage fails inside _git" to "older usage fails to
even find _git", the end result looks good.
