built-ins: trust the "prefix" from run_builtin()
Change code in "builtin/grep.c" and "builtin/ls-tree.c" to trust the
"prefix" passed from "run_builtin()". The "prefix" we get from setup.c
is either going to be NULL or a string of length >0, never "".
So we can drop the "prefix && *prefix" checks added for
"builtin/grep.c" in 0d042fecf2f (git-grep: show pathnames relative to
the current directory, 2006-08-11), and for "builtin/ls-tree.c" in
a69dd585fca (ls-tree: chomp leading directories when run from a
subdirectory, 2005-12-23).
As seen in code in revision.c that was added in cd676a51367 (diff
--relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectory,
2008-02-12) we already have existing code that does away with this
assertion.
This makes it easier to reason about a subsequent change to the
"prefix_length" code in grep.c in a subsequent commit, and since we're
going to the trouble of doing that let's leave behind an assert() to
promise this to any future callers.
For "builtin/grep.c" it would be painful to pass the "prefix" down the
callchain of:
cmd_grep -> grep_tree -> grep_submodule -> grep_cache -> grep_oid ->
grep_source_name
So for the code that needs it in grep_source_name() let's add a
"grep_prefix" variable similar to the existing "ls_tree_prefix".
While at it let's move the code in cmd_ls_tree() around so that we
assign to the "ls_tree_prefix" right after declaring the variables,
and stop assigning to "prefix". We only subsequently used that
variable later in the function after clobbering it. Let's just use our
own "grep_prefix" instead.
Let's also add an assert() in git.c, so that we'll make this promise
about the "prefix" to any current and future callers, as well as to
any readers of the code.
Code history:
* The strlen() in "grep.c" hasn't been used since 493b7a08d80 (grep:
accept relative paths outside current working directory, 2009-09-05).
When that code was added in 0d042fecf2f (git-grep: show pathnames
relative to the current directory, 2006-08-11) we used the length.
But since 493b7a08d80 we haven't used it for anything except a
boolean check that we could have done on the "prefix" member
itself.

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 https://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-<commandname>.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://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
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):
