From: Don Zickus <[email protected]>

The kernel workflow is adding complexity.  Let's hide some of that complexity
behind git aliases.  Instead of having the developer manually add them all
the time, add a make command to 'include' kernel aliases.

A new command 'make rh-gitsetup' runs

git config --local --add include.path "../redhat/kernel.gitconfig"

and adds an include to the local repo's .git/config file.

Over time more workflow commands can be added to help developers.

Start with a stub config file.

V6: rebase to dist- changes, text changes
V5: text cleanups
V4: s/gitconfig/gitsetup
V3: expand comment in kernel.gitconfig
