I was hoping you would say no so I could get away without doing
anything :) The problem is "setup pollution". When somebody looks up
an alias (autocorrect does), $GIT_DIR must be searched because
$GIT_DIR/config may have repo-local aliases. But 'git init' (and
clone) expects a clean no-setup state.

This is a known issue. You can reproduce by aliasing init to
something, then init a new repo using that alias. In fact Jonathan
wrote a few test to catch this. The solution is we start out fresh in
a new process. The fork/exec overhead should not matter because this
is interactive session.

I'm just wondering if I should remove the "only applicable to init and
clone" check in the patch because there's another companion problem:
if we find $GIT_DIR automatically, then $GIT_DIR/config points out
that work-tree must be moved, it'll get nasty because we already set
everything up for the auto-found worktree. But maybe I already solved
that, not sure..
