gitInfo = GetGITInfo(directory)

Description:
Retrieves the git information on a specified directory or file. This is
essentially a wrapper around the shell command “git”.

Input:
directory (string) - Directory name of interest.

Output:
gitInfo (struct) - Structure containing the following information:
Path
Describe

‘gitInfo’ will be empty if there is no git info for directory or if directory
does not exist.

7/12/13 dhb More info, based on Ben Heasly’s version of this in RenderToolbox3.
12/2/18 dhb Add –no-pager to the git branch call, based on email from
Henryk Blasniski who says this will work better across platforms.
The change did not break anything obvious on my machine.
