Subject: What is the idea for bare repositories?
Message-ID: <86k5on8v6p.fsf@lola.quinscape.zz>


Hi,

I have a repository declared as bare.  Some commands treat it as such,
other's don't.  For example, I get

git-diff [no complaint]
git-status
fatal: /usr/local/bin/git-status cannot be used without a working tree.
git-reset [no complaint]
git-reset --hard
HEAD is now at db862c1... installmanager.sh: setze GIT_WORK_TREE
git-commit
fatal: /usr/local/bin/git-commit cannot be used without a working tree.
git-add
fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree

So this is all somewhat inconsistent.  What is the situation supposed
to be?
