Would the information of this paragraph also be well suited in the documentation? (1) clarifies what the super prefix is. (2) maybe the docs or this commit message should talk about how the prefix is relayed, i.e. it doesn't set 'prefix' in the child, but it reads GIT_TOPLEVEL_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT and acts on that as (2) ?
