Fix a docker rebuild issue (#88)

The Docker build wasn't making use of docker's cache because the .git directory was being copied into the build context. This means that even if the app did not change, if anything in git changed then docker would rebuild the entire app.

This excludes the .git folder from the docker build, instead relying on the user to pass in the build hash at build time. Which is annoying but I don't think there's a better way around it.

This was annoying me because I am deploying a self-hosted version of flotilla from a git branch via ansible and it was rebuilding flotilla every time.
