I was wondering whether this memoization could interact badly with
update_common_dir(). For example, if any of the memoized functions were
called before git_common_dir is initialized, then the pre-git_common_dir
value would continue to be used even if git_common_dir is changed
afterwards. But I believe it is taboo to call git_path() before
setup_git_env(), so I think this is not a problem.
