If filter-branch is entered with an unset GIT_DIR, things are rather fragile. The GIT_DIR variable setting then points to something like $(pwd)/../.. which is neither guaranteed to be a git directory (depends on where filter-branch is started), nor will it continue to work once the temporary directory (for which the pwd is output) ceases to exist. So we just call git-rev-parse in order to get the correct setting here for exporting.
