Setting GIT_DIR is to say "That is the directory that has the
repository objects and refs; I am letting you know the location
explicitly because it does not have any relation with the location
of the working tree.  The $(cwd) is at the root of the working
tree".

If you want to say "That is the directory that has metainformation,
and that other one is the root of the working tree", you use
GIT_WORK_TREE to name the latter.

So by definition, if you only set GIT_DIR without setting
GIT_WORK_TREE, show-cdup must say "you are already at the top".
