To be more precise: tramp-sshfs-handle-process-file uses call-process
for the remote process. But call-process doesn't know the function
(exec-path). Instead, it uses the variable exec-path for starting the
local process. No handling for the remote path.

If your problem is just the git program name, you might configure
magit-remote-git-executable to an absolute path.

Best regards, Michael.
