Usually it is me who updates the git submodules. Often I run a local cgit
build with custom commits/patches. Sometimes I wonder what git version it was
built with. :-p So I decided to give it a try and added the version to footer.

I thought about security as well, but I do not think this is a big issue: Who
ever has the cgit version can look up the git version anyway. (Except for
builds from git with changed submodule).

On the other hand this brings potential security issues to the
administrators eyes... I think it is worth merging.
