Title: Improvements to git-repl

Fixes history support by adding -e to read again, and forcing use of Bash instead of default shell. (Dash, the default non-interactive shell on Debian, doesn't work - I suspect that could be why it was removed in d666fa409a?)

Fixes support of quotes in commands (e.g. `commit -m "Commit message with 'quotes' in"`).

Doesn't show git help when pressing enter without typing a command - just shows another prompt (like Bash).
