I think it would be more idiomatic and more paranoid (we'll catch bugs)
to do:
my $exec_path;
if (exists $ENV{GIT_EXEC_PATH}) {
$exec_path = $ENV{GIT_EXEC_PATH};
} else {
[...]
}
I.e. we're interested if we got passed GIT_EXEC_PATH, so let's see if it
exists in the env hash, and then use it as-is. If we have some bug where
it's an empty string we'd like to know, presumably...

The path could contain regex metacharacters, so let's quote those via:
(my $prefix = $exec_path) =~ s/\Q$gitexecdir_relative\E$//;
This also nicely gets us rid of the more verbose ${} form, which makes
esnse when we're doing ${foo}$ instead of the arguably less readbale
$foo$, but when it's \Q$foo\E$ it's clear what's going on.
