When I started with VMS (ahem) years ago, my buddies handed me eunice

(a unix like environment) and a big bag of aliases to make my

environment look like unix.  I did this for years and was happy.
But one day I lost my command shell init scripts, and was left to fend

for myself with pure VMS commands.  I was completely helpless.  Moral:

never again will I customize my programming environment to that extent.
Your solution is that sort of over-customization.  Sticking git's

libexec in your path is too.  I'm still allergic.
