Don't you have $repo (an instance of Git) at that point?  You
should be able to ask repo_path() about it, shouldn't you?

Isn't git-send-email still useful outside a Git repo?

Then why does it run "rev-parse --git-dir"?

I'm suggesting that it should still function just fine without being
inside a repo, so it should adequately handle "rev-parse --git-dir"
returning 128.
