Originally the test in t1020 was meant to not include setting the GIT_DIR when testing inside a bare repository as it did not work without setting GIT_DIR explicitly.

Nowadays the test as originally intended works, so add it to the test suite. We'll keep the test, which has been run through all years as another test for finding regressions.

Junio, thanks for providing the context!

I tried tracking down when this changes via bisect, though I messed up. By looking through the code I find these commits most promising to have fixed the underlying issue (I am no expert on subdirectory treatment) 337e51c (Use git_config_early() instead of git_config() during repo setup, 2010-11-26) 72183cb (Fix gitdir detection when in subdir of gitdir, 2009-01-16) 9951d3b (setup: clean up setup_discovered_git_dir(), 2010-11-26)
