Not at all; I'm sorry if that's the effect.

I'm not asking you to make another change in upstream git. You've told
us the workaround (gitexecdir=/usr/bin), and that workaround is no
longer going to be deprecated, which is great. It's just up to us to
ensure that we use that workaround when we build git for ourselves, and
to ensure that our distributions also build packages using that
workaround.

Since I believe you're building the git packages used on kernel.org, I
was just asking you to apply the workaround when you build _those_
packages, that's all.
