Merge branch 'es/outside-repo-errmsg-hints' into maint
An earlier update to show the location of working tree in the error
message did not consider the possibility that a git command may be
run in a bare repository, which has been corrected.
* es/outside-repo-errmsg-hints:
prefix_path: show gitdir if worktree unavailable
prefix_path: show gitdir when arg is outside repo
