Fix work-tree related breakages

gitster · gitster · commit 6490a3383f1d · 2007-08-02T17:26:26.000-07:00
In set_work_tree(), variable rel needs to be reinitialized to
NULL on every call (it should not be static).

Make sure the incoming dir variable is not too long before
copying to the temporary buffer, and make sure chdir to the
resulting directory succeeds.

This was spotted and fixed by Alex and Johannes in a handful
patch exchanges.  Here is the final version.
