setup_git_directory_gently() expects two types of failures to
discover a git directory (e.g. .git/):
- GIT_DIR_HIT_CEILING: could not find a git directory in any
parent directories of the cwd.
- GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT: could not find a git directory in
any parent directories up to the mount point of the cwd.
Both cases are handled in a similar way, but there are misleading
and unimportant differences. In both cases, setup_git_directory_gently()
should:
- Die if we are not in a git repository. Otherwise:
- Set nongit_ok = 1, indicating that we are not in a git repository
but this is ok.
- Call strbuf_release() on any non-static struct strbufs that we
allocated.
Before this change are two misleading additional behaviors:
- GIT_DIR_HIT_CEILING: setup_nongit() changes to the cwd for no
apparent reason. We never had the chance to change directories
up to this point so chdir(current cwd) is pointless.
- GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT: strbuf_release() frees the buffer
of a static struct strbuf (cwd). This is unnecessary because the
struct is static so its buffer is always reachable. This is also
misleading because nowhere else in the function is this buffer
released.
This change eliminates these two misleading additional behaviors and
deletes setup_nogit() because the code is clearer without it. The
result is that we can see clearly that GIT_DIR_HIT_CEILING and
GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT lead to the same behavior (ignoring the
different help messages).

Changes in v2:
- Aligned indentation of second line of die message for case
GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT.
