Ah, jeah thats true:

The command in question which is `git rev-parse --git-dir` to find the actual GIT_DIR is actually the issue here:
It relies on having a proper HEAD despite the docs saying it only reports GIT_DIR if set etc...

Could we maybe make these commands more agnostic? 
Making an empty HEAD probably directly also resolves these commands to work correctly.
