David Reiss	0454dd93bf	Add support for GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES ... Make git recognize a new environment variable that prevents it from chdir'ing up into specified directories when looking for a GIT_DIR. Useful for avoiding slow network directories. For example, I use git in an environment where homedirs are automounted and "ls /home/nonexistent" takes about 9 seconds. Setting GIT_CEILING_DIRS="/home" allows "git help -a" (for bash completion) and "git symbolic-ref" (for my shell prompt) to run in a reasonable time.

David Reiss	ae299be0e5	Implement normalize_absolute_path ... normalize_absolute_path removes several oddities form absolute paths, giving nice clean paths like "/dir/sub1/sub2". Also add a test case for this utility, based on a new test program (in the style of test-sha1).
