[PATCH 2/2] check-ignore.c: fix segfault with '.' argument from repo root

From

Fix a corner case where check-ignore would segfault when run with the '.' argument from the top level of a repository, due to prefix_path() converting '.' into the empty string. It doesn't make much sense to call check-ignore from the top level with '.' as a parameter, since the top-level directory would never typically be ignored, but of course it should not segfault in this case.
