I think the cleanest approach would be to patch all calls to "git" in the vcsh shell script by calls to "/gnu/store/xxxx-git-.../bin/git", where the base name is taken as "(assoc-ref %build-inputs "git")" or the like. What do you think? It might be as simple as a call in a phase to "substitute*", replacing "git " by the path+" ". The script is a bit annoying in that it scatters calls to git all over the place. It would be cleaner to define "GIT=git" at the start of the file, and then always call "$(GIT)". Maybe that is something to suggest to the upstream author? Andreas
