Yes, I saw that, too, but:

While it's true that cmd_help()'s nongit variable will not be initialized if we are in a git repository, cmd_help() never touches nongit after calling setup_git_directory_gently(), so there is no problem after all.

However, it might be better to let setup_git_directory_gently() set *nongit_ok to 0 if we are in a git repository. Patch appended.

Regards, Gábor

Always set *nongit_ok in setup_git_directory_gently()

setup_git_directory_gently() only modified the value of its *nongit_ok argument if we were not in a git repository. Now it will always set it to 0 when we are inside a repository.

Also remove now unnecessary initializations in the callers of this function.
