I do not think "prefer host Git" is necessarily a good idea; falling
back to use host Git is perfectly fine, of course.

Why is that, though?

Mostly because your "differences in features supported by just-built
one and what happens to be on $PATH can cause problems" cuts both
ways [...]

I sent an alternative solution[1] which should sidestep this objection.

As usual, I forgot to use --in-reply-to=<this-thread> when sending the
patch, even though I reminded myself to use it only a minute or so
earlier. Sorry.
