Thanks for quick response Brian

Yes, our team compiles git for use within our organization.
I'll reach out to them and see if they can provide path during build.

Meanwhile, I was able to update copy of the git (compiled by my team) to
use python3 on shebang line.
It appears that the git-p4 is compatible with Python3. Is git team planning
to update it near future?
It's my understanding that it's designed to work with both Python 2 and
3.  It's unlikely that the shebang will be updated until it's no longer
guaranteed to work with Python 2, since `python` is more generic than
`python3`.  When that is, I don't know, since I don't use Perforce and
don't maintain git-p4, which has a separate maintainer.
