Check git version at runtime, rather than assuming it will be the same as the git version used at build time when running git-checkattr and git-branch remove.
It's ok to probe every time for git-branch remove because that's run quite rarely. For git-checkattr, it's run only once, when starting the --batch mode, and so again the overhead is pretty minimal. This leaves 2 places where the build version is still used. git merge might be interactive or fail if one skews, and --no-gpg-sign might not be pased, or might be passed to a git that doesn't understand it if the other skews. It seems a little expensive to check the git version each time these are used. This doesn't seem likely to cause many problems, at least compared with check-attr hanging on skew.
