The updated code may correctly detect when you are in such a situation, but I have to wonder why anybody would even want to be reminded that he is in a bare repository to begin with. For doing any usual work of growing history, you would work inside a repository with an work tree. The only occasion you would *go* to a bare repository would be to tweak, futz with and fix one that is used as a distribution point, isn't it? You usually update such a repository by pushing into it, so your being there would be a result of very conscious act of chdir'ing into it yourself, and you wouldn't be spending too much time in there anyway. There may be a different workflow where you would stay in a bare repository for an extended period of time and you would benefit from such a reminder like this patch adds, but I do not think of one.
