The current behavior is often to print an absolute path rather than
a ../../etc string, but callers must be ready to accept a relative
path, too. The most common output is ".git" (from the toplevel of

OK. Take 2. I think it is bisectable this time. This replaces
35-42 (the fixing part, no need to resend 34 unchanged patches). More notes
on each patch.
