[PATCH v3] sha1_file: do not add own object directory as alternate

[Ephrim Khong <dr.khong@gmail.com>]

When adding alternate object directories, we try not to add the
directory of the current repository to avoid cycles.  Unfortunately,
that test was broken, since it compared an absolute with a relative
path.
