d95138e6 (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like
$GIT_DIR, 2015-06-26) attempted to work around a glitch in alias
handling by overwriting GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable to
affect subprocesses when set_git_work_tree() gets called, which
resulted in a rather unpleasant regression to "clone" and "init".
Try to address the same issue by always restoring the environment
and respawning the real underlying command when handling alias.

The unfortunate commit d95138e (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when
work tree is set, like $GIT_DIR - 2015-06-26) exposes another problem,
besides git-clone that's described in the previous commit. If
GIT_WORK_TREE (or even GIT_DIR) is exported to an alias script, it may
mislead git commands in the script where the repo is. Granted, most
scripts work on the repo where the alias is summoned from. But nowhere
do we forbid the script to visit another repository.

The revert of d95138e in the previous commit is sufficient as a
fix. However, to protect us from accidentally leaking GIT_*
environment variables again, we restore certain sensitive env before
calling the external script.

GIT_PREFIX is let through because there's another setup side effect
that we simply accepted so far: current working directory is
moved. Maybe in future we can introduce a new alias format that
guarantees no cwd move, then we can unexport GIT_PREFIX.

<content type='text'>
Commit d95138e [1] attempted to fix a .git file problem by
setting GIT_WORK_TREE whenever GIT_DIR is set. It sounded harmless
because we handle GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE side by side for most
commands, with two exceptions: git-init and git-clone.

"git clone" is not happy with d95138e. This command ignores GIT_DIR
but respects GIT_WORK_TREE [2] [3] which means it used to run fine
from a hook, where GIT_DIR was set but GIT_WORK_TREE was not (*).
With d95138e, GIT_WORK_TREE is set all the time and git-clone
interprets that as "I give you order to put the worktree here",
usually against the user's intention.

The solution in d95138e is reverted earlier, and instead we reuse
the solution from c056261 [4].  It fixed another setup-messed-
up-by-alias by saving and restoring env and spawning a new process,
but for git-clone and git-init only.

Now we conclude that setup-messed-up-by-alias is always evil. So the
env restoration is done for _all_ commands, including external ones,
whenever aliases are involved. It fixes what d95138e tried to fix,
without upsetting git-clone-inside-hooks.

The test from d95138e remains to verify it's not broken by this. A new
test is added to make sure git-clone-inside-hooks remains happy.

(*) GIT_WORK_TREE was not set _most of the time_. In some cases
    GIT_WORK_TREE is set and git-clone will behave differently. The
    use of GIT_WORK_TREE to direct git-clone to put work tree
    elsewhere looks like a mistake because it causes surprises this
    way. But that's a separate story.

[1] d95138e (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like
             $GIT_DIR - 2015-06-26)
[2] 2beebd2 (clone: create intermediate directories of destination
             repo - 2008-06-25)

The infrastructure to rewrite "git submodule" in C is being built
incrementally.  Let's polish these early parts well enough and make
them graduate to 'next' and 'master', so that the more involved
follow-up can start cooking on a solid ground.

* sb/submodule-helper:
  submodule: rewrite `module_clone` shell function in C
  submodule: rewrite `module_name` shell function in C
  submodule: rewrite `module_list` shell function in C

Most of the submodule operations work on a set of submodules.
Calculating and using this set is usually done via:

       module_list "$@" | {
           while read mode sha1 stage sm_path
           do
                # the actual operation
           done
       }

Currently the function `module_list` is implemented in the
git-submodule.sh as a shell script wrapping a perl script.
The rewrite is in C, such that it is faster and can later be
easily adapted when other functions are rewritten in C.

git-submodule.sh, similar to the builtin commands, will navigate
to the top-most directory of the repository and keep the
subdirectory as a variable. As the helper is called from
within the git-submodule.sh script, we are already navigated
to the root level, but the path arguments are still relative
to the subdirectory we were in when calling git-submodule.sh.
That's why there is a `--prefix` option pointing to an alternative
path which to anchor relative path arguments.

At the beginning of the rewrite of git-am.sh to C, in order to not break
existing test scripts that depended on a functional git-am, a
redirection to git-am.sh was introduced that would activate if the
environment variable _GIT_USE_BUILTIN_AM was not defined.

Now that all of git-am.sh's functionality has been re-implemented in
builtin/am.c, remove this redirection, and retire git-am.sh into
contrib/examples/.

For the purpose of rewriting git-am.sh into a C builtin, implement a
skeletal builtin/am.c that redirects to $GIT_EXEC_PATH/git-am if the
environment variable _GIT_USE_BUILTIN_AM is not defined. Since in the
Makefile git-am.sh takes precedence over builtin/am.c,
$GIT_EXEC_PATH/git-am will contain the shell script git-am.sh, and thus
this allows us to fall back on the functional git-am.sh when running the
test suite for tests that depend on a working git-am implementation.

Since git-am.sh cannot handle any environment modifications by
setup_git_directory(), "am" is declared with no setup flags in git.c. On
the other hand, to re-implement git-am.sh in builtin/am.c, we need to
run all the git dir and work tree setup logic that git.c typically does
for us. As such, we work around this temporarily by copying the logic in
git.c's run_builtin(), which is roughly:

	prefix = setup_git_directory();
	trace_repo_setup(prefix);
	setup_work_tree();

This redirection should be removed when all the features of git-am.sh
have been re-implemented in builtin/am.c.
