[PATCH 3/3] completion: Prevents GIT_PS1_DIRTYSTATE from breaking when CWD is .git

The GIT_PS1_DIRTYSTATE support uses a "git diff" to see if a "*" should be placed after the branch name. The "git diff" fails with an ugly error if the user has just changed directory into GIT_DIR.

This patch uses "git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree" to determine whether a "--work-tree=.." should be added to the "git diff".
