e02ca72 (path.c: refactor relative_path(), not only strip prefix,

The problem is the callsite in setup.c:setup_work_tree(). When
relative_path() is called with
"/home/artagnon/dotfiles/.git/modules/.elisp/flx" and
"/home/artagnon/dotfiles/.elisp/flx" as the first and second
arguments, it sets sb to "../../.git/modules/.elisp/flx".

Makes me wonder why setup_git_dir() doesn't just use git_dir; why does
it need a relative path at all?
