Since b541248 (merge.conflictstyle: choose between "merge" and "diff3
-m" styles, 2008-08-29), git-merge-file uses setup_directory_gently(),
thus cd'ing around to find any possible config files to use.
This broke merge-file when it is called from within a subdirectory of
a repository, and the arguments are all relative paths.
Fix by prepending the prefix, as passed down from the main git
setup code, if there is any.

With the last patch, we can safely pass a zero prefix length to say
"there was no prefix".
This is a slight semantic change on Windows, because it now
substitutes / for \ in paths, but I suppose that's harmless?
