git wrapper: allow setup_git_directory_gently() be called earlier
In the spirit of v1.4.2-rc3~34^2^2 (Call setup_git_directory() much
earlier, 2006-07-28), let run_builtin() take care of searching for a
repository for built-ins that want to make use of one if present.
So now you can mark your command with RUN_SETUP_GENTLY and use
nongit = !startup_info->have_repository;
in place of
prefix = setup_git_directory_gently(&nongit);
and everything will be the same, except the repository is
discovered a little sooner.
As v1.7.2~16^2 (2010-07-14) explains, this should allow more commands
to robustly use features like "git --paginate" that look at local
configuration before the command is actually run.
This patch sets up the infrastructure. Later patches will teach
particular commands to use it.

As v1.7.2~16^2 (git --paginate: paginate external commands
again, 2010-07-14) explains, builtins (like git config) that
do not use RUN_SETUP are not finding GIT_DIR set correctly when
it is time to launch the pager from run_builtin(). If they
were to search for a repository sooner, then the outcome of such
early repository accesses would be more predictable and reliable.
The cmd_*() functions learn whether a repository was found through the
*nongit_ok return value from setup_git_directory_gently(). If
run_builtin() is to take care of the repository search itself, that
datum needs to be retrievable from somewhere else. Use the
startup_info struct for this.
As a bonus, this information becomes available to functions such as
git_config() which might want to avoid trying to access a repository
when none is present.

The startup_info struct will collect information managed by the git
setup code, such as the prefix for relative paths passed on the
command line (i.e., path to the starting cwd from the toplevel of
the work tree) and whether a git repository has been found.
In other words, startup_info is intended to be a collection of global
variables with results that were previously returned from setup
functions. This state is global anyway (since the cwd is), even
if it is not currently tracked that way. Letting these values persist
means there is more flexibility in deciding when to run setup.
For now, the struct is empty.

Since there are WEBrick configuration settings (including the
upcoming AccessLog support) that cannot be represented in YAML
and require Ruby anyways, the YAML config file is an unnecessary
layer of complexity.
Additionally, the shell script wrapper to start WEBrick is
unecessary since our generated Ruby script can be made
executable in the same manner with /usr/bin/env.
This has been broken since commit be5347b ("httpd logs in a
"$httpd_only" subdirectory").
Since WEBrick has no other way of preserving environment
variables needed for gitweb, we create a shell script wrapper
that sets the environment variables as our CGI interpreter
to run gitweb.cgi.

git-rebase--interactive.sh: use printf instead of echo to print commit message
On systems with an echo which defaults to the XSI-conformant behavior
(Solaris, or others using Ksh), echo will interpret certain backslashed
characters as control sequences. This can cause a problem for interactive
rebase when it is used to rebase commits whose commit "subject" (the first
line) contains any of these backslashed sequences. In this case, echo will
substitute the control sequence for the backslashed characters and either
the rebased commit message will differ from the original, or the rebase
process will fail. Neither is desirable.
So work around this issue by replacing the echo statements used to print
out portions of the commit message, with printf.
Also, add a test to test for this breakage.

Ksh performs a file glob using the pattern-list and then tries to execute

desirable to use it instead of "! <git-command>".
