[NOT-SERIOUS PATCH] Make get_relative_cwd() not accept NULL for a directory

Earlier, get_relative_cwd() interpreted "dir == NULL" as "outside of the dir", and therefore returned NULL. Be more strict now.

	As promised.
	Okay, I made up my mind.  Allowing "dir == NULL" is not only a matter of
	convenience.  It is the most natural way to say that "dir" is an invalid
	or non-existing directory.
	Besides, this patch adds 14.286% more lines than it removes ;-)
	But ultimately, it is your decision, Junio, and I am d'accord with 
	what you choose.
