count-objects and describe work in the current master.
repack/bisect/reset and some other commands make only sense from the
toplevel directory but anyway I would allow them to be run in a
subdirectory and change up to the topdirectory (like git checkout for
branch switching). Is there any good reason not to do this? I found
it often annoying to go down to the toplevel directory/get a new shell
just to reset to HEAD~1.
