Subject: [PATCH] chore(git): demote routine missing-repository probes

Public Git clients may request info/refs before a repository has arrived
locally during normal event and Git-data propagation. Logging that expected
negative lookup at WARN obscures actionable Git transport failures.

Demote only the HTTP handler's pre-spawn repository existence message to
DEBUG. The RepositoryNotFound response, request metrics, and internal Git
warnings remain unchanged.

This assumes the existing error response remains sufficient client-visible
feedback. Changing push metric semantics or suppressing invariant failures is
deliberately excluded.

Validated with:
- git diff --check
- nix develop -c cargo test --lib git::handlers (11 passed)
