This helper is about creating paths in the working tree and Git
repository, hence it has a call to adjust_shared_perm() which in
turn calls get_shared_repo(), i.e. requiring a repository.
I thought I read somewhere that this tool is meant to be usable
outside a repository? If that is not the case, then the use of this
helper is OK. If not, we may want to make sure that it will stay to
be safe to use the helper (I think it happens to be OK right now,
but if the reason why the user is trying to run the tool is because
the user broke Git by writing garbage into .git/config, we may
die("your configuration file is broken") before this helper returns).
Thanks.
