Large mono-repos that want to have tooling for installing a particular version of git can leverage this script to do the selection and download. Right now this is Mac-specific (for the Microsoft Office Monorepo Mac setup systems).

I guess that a better place would be git update-microsoft-git, even if that will require porting the script to C. That would have advantages, though, as it would no longer have to reimplement oh so much functionality (like comparing versions and the like).

Thanks-- Office wants to get away from depending on home-brew for versioning and installs, which is why I added this script. Additionally, if ms-git is not yet installed at all, then we cannot leverage this command for the initial install.
