```
Before 7176a314 (index-pack: complain when --stdin is used outside of a
repo) index-pack silently created a non-existing target directory; now
the command refuses to work unless it's used against a valid repository.
That causes p5302 to fail, which relies on the former behavior.  Fix it
by setting up the destinations for its performance tests using git init.

Ah, right. Thanks for catching this.

I think p5302 was wrong to rely on the old behavior, and your patch is
the right fix.
