Rather than having to pass --template to git init and clone for a custom
setup, `init.templatedir` may be set in '~/.gitconfig'
(Eg. git config --global --add init.templatedir ~/.gittemplate )
System administrators may prefer using this varialbe in the system-wide
config file rather than editing files under '/usr/share'.
(I.e. setting init.templatedir to $(prefix)/etc/gittempalte )
The environment variable GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR can already be used for this but
the '.gitconfig' file is a much better place for this type of setting.

The new section is supposed to be more informative, with references to it
in config.txt and with the '--template' option of git-init and git-clone.

Thanks; I will make a minor touch-ups to both of these patches and queue.
You may want to add a few tests to t/t0001-init.sh before they get merged
to 'next' branch and start cooking.
