I think this comment refers to this part, ...

... however, at the beginning of the script, it dot-includes
git-sh-setup, which sets (but not export) GIT_DIR for the rest
of the script to use (see the last if..then..else).

If you got an unset GIT_DIR when you reached that case statement
you are removing here, I suspect that there is something else
going on, but I do not see what it is...

Puzzled...
