[PATCH v2 1/2] Check DB_ENVIRONMENT using is_directory()

In setup.c is_git_directory() checks a Git directory using access(X_OK).
This does not check, if path is a file or a directory.
Check path with is_directory() instead.

After all the discussions (and lots of tests) I found that this patch
works for my setup.
All in all could the error reporting be improvved for is_git_directory(),
as there may be "access denied", or "not a directory" or others, but
that is for another day.
