OK, I have to admit defeat: I can't come up with a test script.  But
the issue is reproducible: git grep in a bare repository fails when
run with a pager.

	$ mkdir /tmp/a
	$ cd /tmp/a
	$ git init
	Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/a/.git/
	$ echo a >a
	$ git add a
	$ git commit -m.
	[master (root-commit) e11f955] .
	 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
	 create mode 100644 a

	$ git clone --bare . ../b
	Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/b/
	$ cd /tmp/b

	$ git grep a HEAD
	fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree
	$ git grep a HEAD | cat
	HEAD:a:a
	$ git --no-pager grep a HEAD
	HEAD:a:a

Reverting 7e622650 (grep: prepare to run outside of a work tree), or
rather just setting the flag RUN_SETUP for grep in git.c again, makes
the first git grep call succeed, too.

As does the following patch, but I don't know why.  The call chain is
quite deep.  It seems that without the patch the static variable
git_dir in environment.c isn't updated when git finds out that it runs
in a bare repo -- but only if a pager is used.

There are five more sites in git.c, path.c and setup.c where $GIT_DIR
is set directly with setenv().  I wonder if they should better call
set_git_dir() instead, too.
