* New flags for `git_repository_open_ext`:
* `GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_NO_DOTGIT` - Do not check for a repository by
appending `/.git` to the `start_path`; only open the repository if
`start_path` itself points to the git directory.
* `GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_FROM_ENV` - Find and open a git repository,
respecting the environment variables used by the git command-line
tools. If set, `git_repository_open_ext` will ignore the other
flags and the `ceiling_dirs` argument, and will allow a NULL
`path` to use `GIT_DIR` or search from the current directory. The
search for a repository will respect `$GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES`
and `$GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM`. The opened repository
will respect `$GIT_INDEX_FILE`, `$GIT_NAMESPACE`,
`$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY`, and `$GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES`.
In the future, this flag will also cause `git_repository_open_ext`
to respect `$GIT_WORK_TREE` and `$GIT_COMMON_DIR`; currently,
`git_repository_open_ext` with this flag will error out if either
`$GIT_WORK_TREE` or `$GIT_COMMON_DIR` is set.
