Commit 4ad8332 (t0001: test git init when run via an alias - 2010-11-26) noted breakages when running init via alias. The problem is for alias to be used, $GIT_DIR must be searched, but 'init' and 'clone' are not happy with that. So we start a new process like an external command, with clean environment in this case. Env variables that are set by command line (e.g. "git --git-dir=.. ") are kept.

This should also fix autocorrecting a command typo to "init" because it's the same problem: aliases are read, then "init" is unhappy with $GIT_DIR already set up because of that.
