[PATCH 101/104] test get_git_work_tree() return value for NULL

From: Sam Vilain <hidden>

Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: Clemens Buchacher <redacted>

If we are in a git directory, get_git_work_tree() can return NULL.
While trying to determine whether or not the given paths are outside
the work tree, the following command would read from it anyways and
trigger a segmentation fault.

 git diff / /
