         As we'll be changing the rest of the "git --super-prefix" users to the
         same pattern, leaving them all consistent makes sense. Why not pick ""
    -    over NULL? Because that's how the "prefix" works[6], and having
    +    over NULL? Because that's how the "prefix" works[5], and having
         "prefix" and "super_prefix" work the same way will be less
         confusing. That "prefix" picked NULL instead of "" is itself
         arbitrary, but as it's easy to make this small bit of our overall API
