This module offers a nice way to get current hash of an npm project that is currently in the git repo's root. Some hosting providers run and serve npm projects from the repo root, but in MS's Azure, the git `repository` and the `wwwroot` directories are sibling repos. During deployment phase, the files are deployed to `wwwroot`. This change makes it possible for an npm project running in Azure (or any provider where the npm project is run or deployed in a different location from the git repo root) to re-use this module to easily grab the last hash.
This is a quick hack to test the ability to read a git repo that may reside outside the current project's root.

@tblobaum can you please look at this soon as this makes using the package in child dirs completely unusable. |

I want to use this module to help report version of my software running in M$'s Azure. Azure is a pretty nice environment, but the
wwwroot(where the code was deployed and runs as theCWD), is actually a sibling directory to the git repo root,repository. This patch allows specifying an alternate git root directory to hep with cases like that.
