gitdir already takes an arbitrary number of arguments and joins them
to a path. The more imminent challenge is, that gitdir caches the
GIT_DIR, thus it tries to avoid calling "git rev-parse". Which works
for most, but not for hooks.

We could either maintain a blacklist, for what we cache the result
too, or always call "git rev-parse --git-dir".

This blacklist would need to be in sync with the one in Git's
path.c::adjust_git_path() than.
