Just use "git command" and you don't have to know $gitexecdir.

First, 'git' might be not in PATH for the webserver user which runs
gitweb.cgi.

Second, I guess that '$gitexecdir/git-repo-config' is/can be faster than
'git repo-config', but if 'git' is in the PATH we can set $gitexecdir from
'git --exec-path'.
