Merge branch 'es/outside-repo-errmsg-hints' into maint

An earlier update to show the location of working tree in the error
message did not consider the possibility that a git command may be
run in a bare repository, which has been corrected.

* es/outside-repo-errmsg-hints:
  prefix_path: show gitdir if worktree unavailable
  prefix_path: show gitdir when arg is outside repo
