Subject: [PATCH] more portable absolute dir check in Git.pm

I was trying to get msysGit to work with activeperl. I'm not sure how 
far I got, I will revisit this problem in the future, but here is a patch.

It removes a problematic make fragment that doesn't work on nmake (and 
probably dmake as well.) As well as a better absolute dir check in Git.pm .
