From: Lessley Dennington <lessleydennington@xxxxxxxxx> Ensure correct git directory setup when -h is passed with commands. This specifically applies to repos with special help text configuration variables and to commands run with -h outside a repository. This will also protect against test failures in the upcoming change to BUG in prepare_repo_settings if no git directory exists. Note: this diff is better seen when ignoring whitespace changes.
