Re: [PATCH v2 11/13] Allow helpers to request the path to the .git directory

The 'gitdir' capability is reported by the remote helper if it
requires the location of the .git directory. The location of the .git
directory can then be used by the helper to store status files even
when the current directory is not a git repository (such as is the
case when cloning).

The location of the .git dir is specified as an absolute path.

I thought we cd into the repository in the middle of clone somewhere, 
before running stuff. In any case, I think it would be good to have 
something like that, but I think maybe we should tell it where it can put 
its status files, rather than telling it where the .git dir is. It would 
also be nice if this is the absolute path that gfi will base a relative 
path for the "marks" options on when importing.
