Avoid unsetting HOME when running certian git commands. Closes: #690193
Setting GIT_INDEX_FILE clobbers the rest of the environment, making git not read ~/.gitconfig, and blow up if GECOS didn't have a name for the user. I'm not entirely happy with getEnvironment being run every time now, that's somewhat expensive. It may make sense to just set GIT_COMMITTER_* and GIT_AUTHOR_*, but I worry that clobbering the rest could break PATH, or GIT_PATH, or something else that might be used by a command run in here. And caching the environment is not a good idea either; it can change..
