Yup.  Obviously during my initial attempt I was scratching my head

t/ directory which was really bad ;-)

Perhaps something like this.  By going down one level, we make sure
that it is not sufficient to accidentally read from .git/config to
find out what 'foo' is, and also ../b5-nick.tar that is relative to
the prefix (aka 'a/') ends up at the top-level.
