Support "git repack project.git" syntax which is more intuitive than
using the GIT_DIR environment variable.

There are a few commands that would benefit from being easier to run
in a bare repository.  If this option was added to the "git" wrapper
rather than git-repack, it would work for all of them.  But maybe
git could just automatically recognize when it's in a bare repository.
