It's not _wrong_, we're just suggesting ways that the same thing might
be accomplished more easily.

Yes, I think your patch is running into a long-standing problem in the
git initialization code. There are problems if you need to look into the
repo dir to find out which command to execute, because finding the repo
dir changes the environment. There is a similar problem with aliases.

So I think getting your patch to run correctly may be hard. But I admit
I didn't look at it that closely.
