Before the bad commit, set_work_tree returns (null), and variable dir_buffer in the call to get_relative_cwd is "/usr/src/git/.git/HEAD"

After, it returns "Documentation/", and variable dir_buffer in the call to get_relative_cwd is "/usr/src/git"

I do not understand what the desired changes in this patch were so am really lost as to what should be fixed. However, the above I hope will give you a good clue as to what is broken.
