git clone gives "git: 'remote-https' is not a git command. See 'git --help'."

[Dafna Hirschfeld]

Hi,

on developer mode when running `git clone https://bla.com.git`

I get the error:

```

git: 'remote-https' is not a git command. See 'git --help'

```

I was not able to see how to fix it

I think somebody else noticed this elsewhere, and the problem is that the https helper is installed in /usr/local at /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-remote-https, but git is only looking for it at places in the root filesystem (like /usr/libexec). Somebody needs to fix the git package -- or maybe it's already fixed and we need to upgrade.

can prob be worked around with:

  ln -s /usr/local/libexec/git-core /usr/libexec/

git will dynamically find some paths (like $PATH search), but others it seems to hardcode at build time which is unfortunate.

we could install a symlink in the rootfs to make this work if we wanted.
