Shawn O. Pearce 67ffa11425 Fix broken bash completion of local refs.
Commit 35e65ecc broke completion of local refs, e.g. "git pull . fo<tab>"
no longer would complete to "foo".  Instead it printed out an internal
git error ("fatal: Not a git repository: '.'").

The break occurred when I tried to improve performance by switching from
git-peek-remote to git-for-each-ref.  Apparently git-peek-remote will
drop into directory "$1/.git" (where $1 is its first parameter) if it
is given a repository with a working directory.  This allowed the bash
completion code to work properly even though it was not handing over
the true repository directory.

So now we do a stat in bash to see if we need to add "/.git" to the
path string before running any command with --git-dir.

I also tried to optimize away two "git rev-parse --git-dir" invocations
in common cases like "git log fo<tab>" as typically the user is in the
top level directory of their project and therefore the .git subdirectory
is in the current working directory.  This should make a difference on
systems where fork+exec might take a little while.
