[PATCH] [RED] git-init: Cannot setup bare repository

[Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz>]

git-init is totally broken wrt. setting up bare repository - it thinks no
repository is bare (maybe I could coerce it to think some repositories
indeed are bare, but I have my doubts). This patch is more like a cry for
help, not something to be applied, though it works as a crude workaround if
you're hit by the same problem as me. Unfortunately it's hard to make sense
of the tangled git_working_tree_cfg, work_tree, is_bare_tree_cfg etc.
network of variables, so I don't have any clear idea about a proper fix nor
the time to figure it out. :-(
