Called when client code wants to explicitly tell us where to find git on their filesystem. If
never called, we assume that git is in a directory in the PATH environment variable for this
process. Passing null as the path argument will unset an explicitly-set path and revert to
looking for git in the PATH.

@param path
<code>File</code> object representing the directory containing the git binaries. It
must contain either an absolute path, or a valid path relative to the current working
directory.
@throws IOException
Thrown if the provided path does not exist.
@throws JavaGitException
Thrown if git does not exist at the provided path, or the provided path is not a
directory.
