The code is now committed, with some changes:

      * Changed the output directory for the assembly to
        main/build/AddIns/VersionControl
      * Overriden IsInstalled in GitVersionControl. It returns false so
        it won't throw an exception when starting MD.

In this case let's keep a copy of GitSharp in the 'contrib' directory.

Thanks!
