sequencer: pass absolute GIT_DIR to exec commands
When we replaced the old shell script based interactive rebase in
commmit 18633e1a22a6 ("rebase -i: use the rebase--helper builtin",
2017-02-09) we introduced a regression of functionality in that the
GIT_DIR would be sent to the environment of the exec command as-is.
This generally meant that it would be passed as "GIT_DIR=.git", which
causes problems for any exec command that wants to run git commands in
a subdirectory.
This isn't a very large regression, since it is not that likely that the
exec command will run a git command, and even less likely that it will
need to do so in a subdir. This regression was discovered by a build
system which uses git-describe to find the current version of the build
system, and happened to do so from the src/ sub directory of the
project.
Fix this by passing in the absolute path of the git directory into the
child environment.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
