Joey Hess 1ae780ee79 git-annex, git-union-merge: Support GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE.
Note that GIT_WORK_TREE cannot influence GIT_DIR; that is necessary for
git-fake-bare and vcsh type things to work.

git-annex does not take into account the --git-dir and --work-tree command line options (while they can be useful when scripting).
> mkdir /tmp/test
> cd /tmp/test
> git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/test/.git/
> git annex init test
init test ok
> touch foo
> cd
> git --git-dir=/tmp/test/.git --work-tree=/tmp/test annex add foo
git-annex: Not in a git repository.
regular git add works:
> git --git-dir=/tmp/test/.git --work-tree=/tmp/test add foo
> git --git-dir=/tmp/test/.git --work-tree=/tmp/test status
# On branch master
#
# Initial commit

# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)
#
# new file: foo

> [[done]], git-annex now honors `GIT_DIR` and `GIT_WORK_TREE` like other
> git commands do. --[[Joey]]
