Packer should use `git` in the PATH

[raivivek]

Hi — I am setting up NeoVim on a remote server that has an old version of git. While the path contains the updated version from conda, Packer appears to be using the /usr/bin/git version which results in the install/update failure due to missing rebase=flag support. When I directly edited packer.lua to point to the latest git, install/update went fine. The title for this bug is presumptuous based on my current understanding, but let me know if that is not the issue.

• nvim --version:

NVIM v0.7.0
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3
Compiled by runner@fv-az316-460

• git --version: git version 2.35.3
• Operating system/version: Linux x86_64 GNU/Linux
• Terminal name/version: xterm-kitty

Steps to reproduce

• Install an older version of git. In my case - git version 1.8.3.1
• Run PackerInstall or PackerUpdate
• Error due to rebase=false flag missing

Actual behaviour

• Install/update fails

Expected behaviour

• No failure
