Lasse Makholm noticed that running "git check-attr" from a place totally unrelated to $GIT_DIR and $GIT_WORK_TREE does not give expected results. I think it is because the command does not say it wants to call setup_work_tree(). We still need to support use cases where only a bare repository is involved, so unconditionally requiring a working tree would not work well. Instead, make a call only in a non-bare repository. We may want to see if we want to do a similar fix in the opposite direction to check-ignore. The command unconditionally requires a working tree, but it should be usable in a bare repository just like check-attr attempts to be.
