Because you touched you did not absolutely have to ;-).

When I took setenv patch for git.c, I was thinking about
something similar.  It may be cleaner to split out the pieces so
that the functions like usage(), die(), xmalloc() and friends
could be linkable in git.c and others that want to link in only
the minimum set without including "cache.h" which has more
intimate knowledge of other git internals.
