so we load that GIT_TOPLEVEL_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT prefix
first, such that we essentially copy it into GIT_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT,
such that e.g. aliased commands will know about the superprefix, too.

I don't follow, this doesn't have anything to do with super-prefix.

s/superprefix/prefix as passed in via GIT_TOPLEVEL_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT/

sorry for the confusion.
