Git Repository link always shows, defaulting to the canonical upstream repo

Previously hidden entirely when NEXT_PUBLIC_GIT_REPO_URL was unset, which
meant it never appeared on localhost or on anyone else's clone that hadn't
explicitly configured it. It should always point somewhere - the canonical
repo (git.ciagent.org) is the sensible default everywhere, overridable only
by a deployment that runs its own separate git server.
