I tend to agree. I was only trying to see if we can salvage a more precise diagnosis f66bc5f (Always show which directory is not a git repository, 2008-12-22) tried to give users, but to do it throughly the sentence will become even more awkward.

    "Not inside a bare git repository nor a work tree that has .git/ somewhere in it."
