[PATCH] gitk: Fix "git gui blame" invocation when called from topdir

In this case "git rev-parse --git-dir" doesn't return an absolute path, but merely ".git", so the selected file has a relative path. The function make_relative then tries to make the already relative path relative, which results in a path like "../../../../Makefile" with as much ".." as the number of parts [pwd] consists of.

This regression was introduced by commit 9712b81 (gitk: Fix bugs in blaming code, 2008-12-06), which fixed "git gui blame" when called from subdirs.

This also fixes it for bare repositories.

    While fixing this I also noticed that the tree view treats pwd as the
    topdir, so it shows directly .gitignore instead of po/.gitignore for
    example.
