I don't see this, using a reasonably up-to-date version of next.  What I
see is the following:

  $ git remote add origin foo
  fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Are you running this in a directory under your home directory?  If so,
is your home directory a repository?

If not, can you tell us what running "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" in
that directory prints?
