Re: [PATCH v2 02/27] init-db: remove unnecessary global variable

> init_is_bare_repository's sole use in life it to cache a value in
> init_db(), and then be used in create_default_files().  This is a bit
> odd since init_db() directly calls create_default_files(), and is the
> only caller of that function.  Convert the global to a simple function
> parameter instead.
