false warning around 'gitStatus' on newish macos X

See original GitHub issue

Description

When I run builds on mac, I see:

> Task :gitStatus
Cannot run program "/usr/bin/git" (in directory "/usr/bin"): error=2, No such file or directory

But the error is actually harmless. checkWorkingCopy etc work as you expect. It just confuses me…

The jgit does pretty crazy stuff on macos hosts, and I think the issues are there? On my mac /usr/bin/git is indeed git and not some xcode wrapper.

See logic in https://git.eclipse.org/c/jgit/jgit.git/tree/org.eclipse.jgit/src/org/eclipse/jgit/util/FS_POSIX.java#n145

Sorry for the delay - thanks for testing, Robert. The reason jgit does this is, I believe, to extract user-specific git options so that jgit and git behave the same (for example per-user settings for eols, etc.). At least that was my impression from looking at method names in FS class that does it.

I don’t think this matters to us at all.

well for us there is no concern of anything, we don’t need to suck in any fancy git configuration for the minimal way we use this jgit (simply checking the status)
