This is due to Bug#23769, adding "GIT_DIR" to `process-environment'.
Tramp handles properly entries like "key=value" and "key=", entries like
"key" are not handled properly yet.

The following patch towards the emacs-25 branch fixes this:

Should this be pushed to the emacs-25 branch, or to master?
