FWIW, this issue is resolved as far as I'm concerned. I was simply using the wrong syntax...

Anyway, with current master:

$ GIT_TRACE_SETUP=1 ../git log -1 -- /Documentation setup: git_dir: .git setup: worktree: /home/jherland/git/git setup: cwd: /home/jherland/git/git setup: prefix: t/ fatal: '/Documentation' is outside repository

With v1.7.11:

$ GIT_TRACE_SETUP=1 ../git log -1 -- /Documentation
setup: git_dir: .git
setup: worktree: /home/jherland/git/git
setup: cwd: /home/jherland/git/git
setup: prefix: t/
