git: run external commands as list of strings so we really get correct quoting (Issue #135)

a6dfd14d4b20 from
https://bitbucket.org/conservancy/kallithea/pull-request/17/add-quotes-to-repo-urls-for-git-backend
fixed that issue but did not make it "safe". The vcs git backend still used
command strings but tried to quote them correctly ... but that approach is
almost impossible to get right.

Instead, pass a string list all the way to the subprocess module and let it do
the quoting. This also makes some of the code more simple.
.. _backup:

====================
Backing up Kallithea
====================


Settings
--------

Just copy your .ini file, it contains all Kallithea settings.

Whoosh index
------------

The Whoosh index is located in the ``data/index`` directory where you installed
Kallithea, i.e., the same place where the ini file is located


Database
--------

When using sqlite just copy kallithea.db.
Any other database engine requires a manual backup operation.

A database backup will contain all gathered statistics.
