Re: [PATCH] setup: only die on invalid .git under RUN_SETUP

> Change RUN_SETUP_GENTLY to stop dying if e.g. the .git is "not a
> repo". This means that we now recover in cases like:
> 
>      $ echo "gitdir: /foo/bar" > .git
>      $ git ls-remote https://github.com/torvalds/linux
>      [... ls-remote output ...]
> 
> But not (as intended):
> 
>      $ git rev-parse HEAD
>      fatal: not a git repository: /foo/bar
