If this becomes the only call site of __gitdir helper function (and that
was the way I read the log message), it would be sane to rename it to
a more descriptive __setup_dash_dash_git_dir function and lose the need to
redirect its output, no?

Now this worries me.  The way I read 07/19 was that the local __git_dir=""
declarations in __git_ps1 and __git were what protected this whole
machinery to protect us against surprises from user doing "cd" between
interactive commands, but you have the same __gitdir call to set up the
global $__git_dir variable there, without the initialization to "".

Having to have a call to __gitdir seems to indicate to me that you cannot
assume that the other initialization sites may not have been called before
we get to this point.  Then why is 'local __git_dir=""' unneeded here?
