setup: avoid double slashes when looking for HEAD
Andrew Baumann reported that when called outside of any Git worktree,
`git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree` eventually tries to access
`//HEAD`, i.e. any `HEAD` file in the root directory, but with a double
slash.
This double slash is not only unintentional, but is allowed by the POSIX
standard to have a special meaning. And most notably on Windows, it
does, where it refers to a UNC path of the form `//server/share/`.
As a consequence, afore-mentioned `rev-parse` call not only looks for
the wrong thing, but it also causes serious delays, as Windows will try
to access a server called `HEAD`. Let's simply avoid the unintended
double slash.
