Fix a corner case where check-ignore would segfault when run with the
'.' argument from the top level of a repository, due to prefix_path()
converting '.' into the empty string.  It doesn't make much sense to
call check-ignore from the top level with '.' as a parameter, since
the top-level directory would never typically be ignored, but of
course it should not segfault in this case.
