Subject: [PATCH 4/5] Support working directory located at root

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2010 21:43:22 +0700

Git should work regardless where the working directory is located,
even at root. This patch fixes two places where it assumes working
directory always have parent directory.

In setup_git_directory_gently(), when Git goes up to root and finds
.git there, it happily sets worktree to "" instead of "/".

In prefix_path(), loosen the outside repo check a little bit. Usually
when a path XXX is inside worktree /foo, it must be either "/foo", or
"/foo/...". When worktree is simply "/", we can safely ignore the
check: we have a slash at the beginning already.

Not related to worktree, but also set gitdir correctly if a bare repo
is placed (insanely?) at root.

Thanks João Carlos Mendes Luís for pointing out this problem.
