Turns out, all git programs git-mv uses are capable of operating in a subdirectory just fine. So don't complain about it.

	I am no Perl guru, so this might not be the best way to go
	about it. Also, if people agree, I would like to remove the
	extra check for GIT_DIR validity, since git-rev-parse --git-dir
	does that already.
