This is an intermediate patch. At the end of the series, you will see
that _gently() does not return prefix. I split it for easier review.

In constrast I feel good :) To me setup_git_directory*() at the end
look really nice. No chdir() all over the place
(temporary chdir() for detecting .git does not count). It also gives a
chance to get rid of worktree to commands that do not care about
worktree at all.
