Fix git blame not working correctly with submodules (#10114)

This fixes #9958 by using the correct working directory in which to run
`git blame`.

This wasn't an issue for a single repository, because we could go from
`.git` one directory up, but it doesn't work for submodules.

Luckily there's a `workdir()` method on `self.repository` that does
exactly what we need.

In submodule:

Not in submodule:
