OK. Just a wild guess since you're mingw port guy :-)

I changed offset near the end of setup_git_*_gently, and in turn
screwed up prefix calculation. I probably forgot to unset
GIT_WORK_TREE while testing. Will work on a test script first before
getting back to the patch. I think I can solve the DOS drive case too.
Just checking, UNC path is not affected, right?
