This enhances the third point in the previous commit. When
applying a non-git patch that begins like this:
--- 2.6.orig/mm/slab.c
+++ 2.6/mm/slab.c
@@ -N,M +L,K @@@
...
and if you are in 'mm' subdirectory, we notice that -p2 is the
right option to use to apply the patch in file slab.c in the
current directory (i.e. mm/slab.c)
The guess function also knows about this pattern, where you
would need to use -p0 if applying from the top-level:
--- mm/slab.c
+++ mm/slab.c
@@ -N,M +L,K @@@
...

Earlier one that tried to be too consistent with GNU patch by
not stripping the leading path when we _know_ we are in a
subdirectory and the patch is relative to the toplevel was a
mistake. This fixes it.
- No change to behaviour when it is run from the toplevel of
the repository.
- When run from a subdirectory to apply a git-generated patch,
it uses the right -p<n> value automatically, with or without
--index nor --cached option.
- When run from a subdirectory to apply a randomly generated
patch, it wants the right -p<n> value to be given by the
user.
The second one is a pure improvement to correct inconsistency
between --index and non --index case, compared with 1.5.0. The
third point could be further improved to guess what the right
value for -p<n> should be by looking at the patch, but should be
a topic of a separate patch.

git-apply running inside a subdirectory, with or without --index,
used to always assume that the patch is formatted in such a way
to apply with -p1 from the toplevel, but it is more useful and
consistent with the use of "GNU patch -p1" if it defaulted to
assume that its input is meant to apply at the level it is
invoked in.
This changes the behaviour. It used to be that the patch
generated this way would apply without any trick:
edit Documentation/Makefile
git diff >patch.file
cd Documentation
git apply ../patch.file
You need to give an explicit -p2 to git-apply now. On the other
hand, if you got a patch from somebody else who did not follow
"patch is to apply from the top with -p1" convention, the input
patch would start with:
diff -u Makefile.old Makefile
--- Makefile.old
+++ Makefile
and in such a case, you can apply it with:
git apply -p0 patch.file

When neither --index nor --cached was used, git-apply did not
try calling setup_git_directory(), which means it did not look
at configuration files at all. This fixes it to call the setup
function but still allow the command to be run in a directory
not controlled by git.
The bug probably meant that 'git apply', not moving up to the
toplevel, did not apply properly formatted diffs from the
toplevel when you are inside a subdirectory, even though 'git
apply --index' would. As a side effect, this patch fixes it as
well.
