From: Simon Gerber <gesimu@xxxxxxxxx> Currently, auto correction doesn't work reliably for commands which must run in a work tree (e.g. `git status`) in Git work trees which are created from a bare repository. As far as I'm able to determine, this has been broken since commit 659fef199f (help: use early config when autocorrecting aliases, 2017-06-14), where the call to `git_config()` in `help_unknown_cmd()` was replaced with a call to `read_early_config()`. From what I can tell, the actual cause for the unexpected error is that we call `git_default_config()` in the `git_unknown_cmd_config` callback instead of simply returning `0` for config entries which we aren't interested in. Calling `git_default_config()` in this callback to `read_early_config()` seems like a bad idea since those calls will initialize a bunch of state in `environment.c` (among other things `is_bare_repository_cfg`) before we've properly detected that we're running in a work tree. All other callbacks provided to `read_early_config()` appear to only extract their configurations while simply returning `0` for all other config keys. This commit changes the `git_unknown_cmd_config` callback to not call `git_default_config()`. Instead we also simply return `0` for config keys which we're not interested in.
