This is room for improvement, the patch is fine as it is now. We could
improve error reporting here. If .git file points to nowhere, we get
"not a repository-kind of message. Except daemon.c, enter_repo()
callers always die() if enter_repo() returns NULL. We could move the
die() part (with improved error message) into enter_repo().

We could update enter_repo(const char *, int) to enter_repo(const char
*, int, int gently). If gently is 1, we never die() nor report
anything (ie. what we're doing now). daemon.c will need this, the rest
of callers will be happy with gently = 0.
