On Debian-based distributions, Chromium the browser is available under
the name chromium-browser rather than chromium, to prevent conflicts
with the Chromium B.S.U. game.
Look for chromium-browser first when setting the path for chromium, and
also add chromium-browser as a supported browser name. Document the
dual-name support, and mention the dual-name support for
(google-)chrome too.

On some systems, the chrome browser is named google-chrome. We add
support for this case.

Add support for google's chrome & chromium. The value of the
browser is 'chromium' or 'chrome' to select it.
You can always provide config variable for browser path if they
are not installed in right paths.

Since OS X 10.6 the variable $SECURITYSESSIONID does not exist anymore,
so lets look for the $TERM_PROGRAM variable as backup.

msysGit issue 258 tracks a problem opening a browser onto file
paths that contain spaces or parentheses when calling the
web--browse script. This patch modifies how the start command is
called to solve this.

The previous check in git-web--browse for /bin/start used test -n
/bin/start, which was always true. This lead to "start" being tried
first in the browser list. On systems with upstart installed, "start"
exists and might be in the PATH, but it makes a poor choice for a web
browser. Instead, test that /bin/start exists and is executable.

In the future, I think we should also default to xdg-open on Linux instead
of having a KDE-specific hack.

Currently "git web--browse" is restricted to a set of commands defined
in the script. You can subvert the "browser.<tool>.path" to force "git
web--browse" to use a different command, but if you have a command
whose invocation syntax does not match one of the current tools then
you would have to write a wrapper script for it.
This patch adds a git config variable "browser.<tool>.cmd" which
allows a more flexible browser choice.
If you run "git web--browse" with -t/--tool, -b/--browser or the
"web.browser" config variable set to an unrecognized tool then "git
web--browse" will query the "browser.<tool>.cmd" config variable. If
this variable exists, then "git web--browse" will treat the specified
tool as a custom command and will use a shell eval to run the command
with the URLs added as extra parameters.

There is no good reason to run GUI browsers using "nohup". It does not
solve any real problem but creates annoying "nohup.out" files in every
directory where git help -w is run.
