Actually, not.  2de9de5e does make it unnecessary to refer to
git_exec_path(), but in order to reference the newly introduced
system_path(), which is declared in exec_cmd.h, the file still would
have needed to include the header, so the justification for the
latter does not make sense.

And indeed, we still need exec_cmd.h in today's code.
