Subject: [PATCH] Make repository.export work with newer git.

gitosis-init and the post-update hook used to fail with
GitCheckoutIndexError, when run with git >=1.5.3, which made
checkout-index require GIT_WORK_TREE, jump through hoops to provide
it, but still be backwards compatible with older git.

Thanks to Garry Dolley for hunting the bug.
