The patch looks wrong. Why does the problem script set GIT_DIR to '.git'?
In all examples I've found, this variable is set to an absolute value.
In general, its purpose, it seems, is to point to the '.git' directory
when it's named otherwise and/or is situated somewhere outside of the
current directory tree.
The latter situation will break vc-git-root. As such, the submitted
patch is only likely to work in the tautological case you've descried.
And it will add some performance penalty to each call, because
vc-git-root, though usually fast, is not free.

Indeed.
