Explain "Not a git repository: '.git'".

Andy Parkins noticed that the error message some "whole tree"
oriented commands emit is stated misleadingly when they refused
to run from a subdirectory.

We could probably allow some of them to work from a subdirectory
but that is a semantic change that could have unintended side
effects, so let's start at first by rewording the error message
to be easier to read without doing anything else to be safe.
