Please fix up the Git cases in VCSUtils::svn{InfoForPath, RevisionForDirectory}() to use "git -C" instead of changing directories before invoking git before landing this change.

This line should be the bug title. The bug description should be below the "Reviewed by" line.

> Tools/Scripts/VCSUtils.pm:226
> +    return system("git -C $dir rev-parse > " . File::Spec->devnull() . " 2>&1") == 0;

We should put surround the value of $dir in single quotes so as to support paths that contain spaces. I also do not see the need to abbreviate the word directory to dir. I suggest we take this opportunity to rename the local variable to $directory.

> Tools/Scripts/VCSUtils.pm:244
> +    my $output = `git -C $directory config --get svn-remote.svn.fetch 2>& 1`;

This change breaks this code when $directory contains a space character(s) since this form of system() will invoke the specified string using the shell and the shell will interpret a space character as the delimiter between command line arguments. One way to fix this is to surround $directory in single quotes.
