Programmatically integrate git.

Qt Creator works nicely with git lready, but running the git commands in the background, especially on Windows, where a native git, however you put it, does not exist. This makes large commits very time-consuming (and the GUI freezes when executing git commands!).

In comes libgit2

https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2

This is a very active project and tries to provide a solid C API to git functionality. It is fully cross-platform, and there is even a Qt bindings project here: https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/libs/libqgit2

This would also streamline git integration, and perhaps these small libs can be included as 3rdparty sources in the tree, like many other useful projects are now included. Using a library is always more functional than externally executing the commands themselves, and will provide a significant speed boost.
