ETC_GITCONFIG defaults to $(prefix)/etc/gitconfig, so if you just set
prefix=/usr or prefix=/usr/local, you end up with a git that looks in
/usr/etc/gitconfig or /usr/local/etc/gitconfig. That seems rather suboptimal.
Use ifeq in the Makefile to set ETC_GITCONFIG=/etc/gitconfig unless the prefix
points to $HOME .
The builder can always override ETC_GITCONFIG, so this just makes the default
saner.
