From: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> Normally code that is checking config before we've decided to do setup_git_directory() would use read_early_config(), which uses discover_git_directory() to tentatively see if we're in a repo, and if so to add it to the config sequence. But list_cmds() uses the caching configset mechanism which rightly does not use read_early_config(), because it has no idea if it's being called early. Call setup_git_directory_gently() so we can pick up repo-level config (like completion.commands).
