Nevermind, it properly complains "'..' is outside repository"; of course
no new code is needed because we could already do "git log ../..".

I do notice that gitk doesn't work, though. Doing "gitk .." produces an
"ambiguous argument" error. It looks like "git rev-parse .." still
treats it as HEAD..HEAD, which may be the source of the error.
