Subject: [BUG] git-init does not respect existing separate-git-dir

It should not be necessary to re-specify --separate-git-dir when re-initialising a git repo.

$ git init --separate-git-dir ../repo
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/infinity0/tmp/repo/

$ git init
/home/infinity0/tmp/wtree/.git/refs: Not a directory
1

One big motivation is so "git init" can be a good "fire-and-forget" invocation that should work anywhere. Currently, one has to do "git init --separate-git-dir $(git rev-parse --git-dir)" which is a lot less elegant.
