git_connect: clarify conn->use_shell flag
When executing user-specified programs, we generally always want to use a shell, for flexibility and consistency. One big exception is executing $GIT_SSH, which for historical reasons must not use a shell. Once upon a time the logic in git_connect looked like: if (protocol == PROTO_SSH) { ... setup ssh ... } else { ... setup local connection ... conn->use_shell = 1; } But over time the PROTO_SSH block has grown, and the "local" block has shrunk so that it contains only conn->use_shell; it's easy to miss at the end of the large block. Moreover, PROTO_SSH now also sometimes sets use_shell, when the new GIT_SSH_COMMAND is used. Let's just set conn->use_shell when we're setting up the "conn" struct, and unset it (with a comment) in the historical GIT_SSH case. This will make the flow easier to follow.
