Running "External diff" to compare the index and work tree currently brings up an empty blame view when the work tree is not the parent of the git directory. This is because the file that is taken from the work tree is assumed to be in $GIT_DIR/../<repo-relative-file-name>. Fix it by feeding the diff tool a path under $GIT_WORK_TREE instead of "$GIT_DIR/..".
