[PATCH 1/3] git-cvsserver: add mechanism for managing working tree and current directory

There are various reasons git-cvsserver needs to manipulate the current directory, and this patch attempts to clarify and validate such changes:

1. Temporary empty working directory (with index) for certain operations
   that require an index file to work.
2. Use a temporary directory with temporary file names for doing
   merges of user's dirty sandbox state with latest changes in
   repository.
3. Coming up soon: Set up an index and either a valid or empty
   working directory when calling git-check-attr to decide
   if a file should be marked binary (-kb).

I'm not sure about this. I get the vague sense it might be better to just always set up a (usually empty except for the index file and user's changed files) working directory early in processing, and minimize chdir calls after that. It might also make it possible to have a new .gitattributes file take effect immediately. But that would be a much more invasive change.
