It also seems that it is being rolled out in some environments as a default for users. To reproduce, simply run git config --global safe.bareRepository explicit to add safe.bareRepository=explicit to your ~/.gitconfig, and see things fail.

I believe in the future, these . An initial set of stop-gap patches have been merged in [1] [2] [3], but the real solution should be to convert relevant pieces of code to invoking git with the --git-dir= option explicitly. This bug is for tracking that.
