+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] git-web--browse: Fix check for /bin/start
+
+The previous check in git-web--browse for /bin/start used test -n
+/bin/start, which was always true.  This lead to "start" being tried
+first in the browser list.  On systems with upstart installed, "start"
+exists and might be in the PATH, but it makes a poor choice for a web
+browser.  Instead, test that /bin/start exists and is executable.
