Only search for repository root in GitDirectory constructor if told to
The GitDirectory() constructor, if passed a 'dirname' that doesn't
contain a '.git' subdirectory, can search upwards to find the real root
of the repository. This is used by the `add-binary`, `push`, and `pull`
commands.
This causes very confusing behaviour in the case that 'dirname' points to
a directory that should be a Git repository, but isn't, and that directory
is a path inside the working tree of another Git repository. Rather than
raising an error, in this case the GitDirectory class would perform
operations on a different repository to the one the caller expected.
This 'search_for_root' behaviour is now opt-in, to avoid confusion.
