Add a test for two subtly different cases: 'git fetch path/.git'
and 'git fetch path' to confirm that transport recognizes both
paths as git repositories when using the gitfile mechanism.

It'd be interesting to test failed cases too. I can think of two: .git
file is not a valid file and .git points to an invalid repo.
