 This makes '.git symbolic link' (what's its official name?) more
 convenient to use. Previously whenever I need to create a .git link,
 I need to open docs to see its format. Now all I need to do is

Took me a while to find documentation for .git file format. Probably my
fault, missed the gitrepository-layout link.

Exactly why I wrote this patch. I do remember there is a prefix before
the path, but what is it? gitdir: or git-dir: or dir:? No I don't want
to look at the document every time I need to create a link. Trial and
error is not preferred either. Also manual manipulation on repos
should be avoided if possible.
