Ah I missed this at add_exclude()

There's basename() that does this for you. A compat version is
provided for Windows port so no portability worries.

Hmm.. I overlooked this bit before. So if  $GIT_DIR is /something/foo,
we set to ignore "foo/". Because we know n_git must be part of
(normalized) get_git_work_tree() at this point, could we path n_git +
strlen(get_git_work_tree()) to add_exclude() instead of basename? Full
path makes sure we don't accidentally exclude too much.

The case when $GIT_DIR points to a _file_ seems uncovered.
setup_git_directory() will transform the file to the directory
internally and we never know the .git file's path (so we can't exclude
it). So people could accidentally add the .git file in, then remove it
from from work tree and suddenly the work tree becomes repo-less. It's
not as bad as .git _directory_ because we don't lose valuable data. I
don't know if you want to cover this too.
