git: drop needless checks for old git

`ambiguous' was added in git 2.21, and `dangling' was the only
other possible phrase which was inadvertantly slipped in prior
to 2.21.  Thus there's no need to check for `notdir' or `loop'
responses since we aren't using `git cat-file --follow-symlinks'
anywhere.
