Once we find the absolute paths for git_dir and work_tree, we can make
git_dir a relative path since we know pwd will be work_tree. This should
save the kernel some time traversing the path to work_tree all the time
if git_dir is inside work_tree.

I think this should do what Linus wanted without losing the ability to
have unrelated work tree and git dir locations. I'm not entirely sure if
there's any meaningful difference between this and setting git_dir to an
absolute path if it or work_tree is provided, and otherwise just using
".git", but this is a relatively small and obvious change that should also
help if the user, for some reason, specifies the directories explicitly
such that they're in the usual relationship.
