The --separate-git-dir option was introduced to make it simple to put
the git directory somewhere outside the worktree, for example when
cloning a repository for use as a submodule.
It was not intended for use when creating a bare repository. In that
case there is no worktree and it is more natural to directly clone the
repository and create a .git file as separate steps:
git clone --bare /path/to/repo.git bar.git
printf 'gitdir: bar.git\n' >foo.git
Forbid the combination, making the command easier to explain.

Just reword the commit message (or copying it from Jonathan
actually). No comments about remove_junk_on_signal because we're less
likely to re-enable it again.
