wee initializer/util: gitcheck.js

[Mike Slattery]

Hey there,

I'm just posting a small thing that I'm finding useful, an initializer that sweeps my plugins, and reports what git branch actionhero is serving up..

https://gist.github.com/slattery/9c0566753d80c04f3b15

This initializer checks plugin directories for git branches, and reports which branch is being loaded by the server.

I use `npm link` to serve up my plugins-in-progress for actionhero. I ask npm's preinstall hook to run `npm link $PLUGIN` so that the plugin will be in actionhero's node_modules dir.

It works well for us, but when the gitflow is feverish I need to double check which branch I'm running in a given actionhero config.

I put this initializer at the projectRoot level, and it sweeps my plugins to report on git branches.
