This makes reinitializing on a .git file repository work.

This is probably the only case that setup_git_env() (via set_git_dir()) is called on a .git file. Other cases in setup_git_dir_gently() and enter_repo() both cover .git file case explicitly because they need to verify the target repo is valid.

 Slight change in the patch to xstrdup(gitfile) because read_gitfile
 returns a static buffer.
