I can't think of any ambiguities which might arise from stripping the
.git suffix. Even when playing with GIT_COMMON_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE,
I don't notice any ambiguities.

Since I'm already touching this code and am wrapping up v2 of [1], I
can easily plop in a fix for this cosmetic issue.

I want to focus on getting v2 of [1] out and finalized. After that, I
might be able to take a look at the git-fetch issue (but I won't
complain if you get to it first).
