Re: in 2.19.2 t0061-run-command FAILs if . is in $PATH

Hi,

the test is explicitely checking that it should not find runnable
scripts outside $PATH, *assuming* $PATH does not have . in it

Does this fix it for you?

If so, can you please provide a commit message for it (you can add my
Signed-off-by: line and your Tested-by: line).

Having '.' in $PATH can be seen as a bad idea (and it most likely is),
but the tests should either remove '.' from $PATH before testing or
ignore that fail if $PATH does have '.', as it is not illegal
