This saves a network hop when using git and passing an explicit sha
as a ref by comparing the version that's already checked out.

This catches the BadCommand that get raised by vcs modules when the VCS
software is not installed or not in the PATH. In this case, we behave as
if the .git, .svn or .hg folder hadn't been found at all (but with the
correct warning).
Using sys.exc_info()[1] is a hack that was used to use a shared
source approach to Python 3.x support that also included versions
of Python that didn't include the except ... as exc: construction.
Pip no longer supports any of these versions of Python so we can
remove it.
