Add "git-sh-setup-script" for common git shell script setup

It sets up the normal git environment variables and a few helper
functions (currently just "die()"), and returns ok if it all looks like
a git archive.  So use it something like

	. git-sh-setup-script || die "Not a git archive"

to make the rest of the git scripts more careful and readable.
