require-work-tree traditionally meant "you must be inside the working
tree, you could be in a subdirectory of it", but as long as the command is
about the whole tree operation (which rebase is) and takes no pathname
relative to the $(cwd) as an argument (which rebase does not), there is no
strong reason why you should be _inside_ the working tree.  For such
commands, require-work-tree should mean "you must have a working tree, and
make it known where it is to git", nothing more.
