Subject: [bug#72813] [PATCH] gnu: packages: Fix git system configuration.
Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2024 22:36:13 -0500

Git's system config path is, by default, relative to the install prefix.
Fix this to use the usual system path.

System config is is pretty much the only way to change git config for
system services.

* gnu/packages/version-control.scm (git/fixed): New variable.
  (git)[replacement]: Graft with git/fixed.
