prefix_path: show gitdir when arg is outside repo
When developing a script, it can be painful to understand why Git thinks

the user thinks it is. Since this can be tricky to diagnose, especially
in cases like submodules or nested worktrees, let's give the user a hint
about which repository is offended about that path.
