The default value for =E2=80=9Cmagit-git-executable=E2=80=9D (when magit is=
 installed
via Guix) appears to be a store path, such as
=E2=80=9C/gnu/store/l7g5r1c2i0bf3cd71g53ajy8khdcyidz-git-2.16.1/bin/git=E2=
=80=9D.  This
means that when magit is used over TRAMP it will try to find the exact
same git executable on the remote.

Instead, magit should only look for =E2=80=9Cgit=E2=80=9D on the remote, no=
t for the
exact store location of a particular git executable.

I could only use magit over TRAMP after setting =E2=80=9Cmagit-git-executab=
le=E2=80=9D
to =E2=80=9Cgit=E2=80=9D.
