I think your patch is fine. Two suggestions:

1. perhaps add a comment to explain why it's a little more complicated
than it appears to need to be

2. you could possible simplify the pathname stuff (and make it
slightly more portable not that that is an issue in reality) by doing
(make-pathname :directory (append (pathname-directory *load-pathname*)
'(".git"))) instead of using merge-pathnames.
