git-gui: fix GIT_DIR handling for submodules It would appear that https://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/FkdTopndAes/BRVBc95idk8J was intended to supersede the patch `Revert "git-gui: set GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE after setup"`, and it made it into Git's `master` via the merge bd08ecc (Merge branch 'gb/maint-submodule-env' into maint, 2010-03-08) (the patch in question is 74ae141 (submodules: ensure clean environment when operating in a submodule, 2010-02-25)). Therefore, let's drop that patch (and the follow-up patch made necessary by it) at long last -- after almost 10 years. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
