The new is_gitfile is an amalgam of similar functional checks
from different places in the code. All these places do
slightly different checks on the suspect gitfile (for their
own good reasons). But the lack of common code leads to bugs
and maintenance problems. Help move the code forward by making
is_gitfile() a common function that everyone can use for this
purpose.

I'm not sure this function belongs in transport.c anymore, but
I left it here to minimize conflicts. I think a better home would
be path.c, but maybe not. If someone has a preference,
please let me know.
