Useful in combination with `--bare` to list just the unique version
numbers without the extra directory entries that are symlinks to other
version numbers in the same directory.
This is for Linux desktop platforms that have Terminal application
configured to start shells in interactive but not login mode. Creating a
`~/.bash_profile` would also cause `~/.profile` to not run, which might
be a problem on Ubuntu which ships with a default `~/.profile`.
When `rbenv --version` is called, this now happens:
1. It changes into the directory where `libexec/rbenv--version` resides
and checks if it's a checkout of the rbenv repo (as opposed to
Homebrew checkout or something else). Then it reads the git revision.
2. If that failed, change to `$RBENV_ROOT` directory and repeat step 1.
This is required for the shims to handle `#!/usr/bin/env python3` in a
shebang, just like `python` is handled currently: it will set
`PYENV_DIR` to the root of the invoked script, which is required for a
`.python-version` script to get picked up from there.
This was rejected for rbenv, where it does not make much sense
(https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv/pull/735).

It's not that this is a preferred way to set a global version (one
should use `rbenv global <version>` instead), but this fixes the
function purely for correctness: all parent directories should be
scanned, even the root directory.
Fixes#745
I was seeing the following occasionally in scripts:
> …/.pyenv/libexec/pyenv-version-file-read: line 12: type: write error: Broken pipe
This patch hopefully improves/fixes this, and it seems better anyway to
just use sed here.
When we started to support reading `.ruby-version` files, we made a
commitment to not support fuzzy version matching. Treating "ruby-2.1.5"
as "2.1.5" is a sort of fuzzy matching, so we put in place a warning
telling you to remove the extraneous "ruby-" prefix popularly used by
other Ruby version managers to denote MRI. (Their logic is that MRI is
"ruby" and other rubies are not "ruby", apparently.)
However, people are often not able to remove the prefix in their
projects because they want to support other coworkers and tools that
sadly still require the prefix, like RubyMine.
So to restore sanity for a big portion of our users, the warning is gone.
In the event that `eval "$(rbenv init -)"` is called from a function named
rbenv (which I do to get rbenv to load lazily in my shell), evaluating the
phrase `rbenv rehash` will cause the outer function to run again (causing an
infinite loop).
This change makes it clear you want the command named rbenv and not a function
which may exist in the environment.
