1.5.0.rc0.gf4bf2: "git --bare gc" in bare repo deletes all!

I did:

  mkdir M
  cd M
  git --bare init-db
  git --bare fetch git+ssh://localhost/SomeRepo

This got the (correct) 21 (loose) objects. OK, cleanup:

  git --bare gc

this gives:

  Generating pack...
  Done counting 0 objects.
  Nothing new to pack.

and the objects are gone, no pack there.

Same thing happens with plain "git gc". Not very nice...


Besides, you can "git --bare pull ...", and get a mishmash of repo +
checked out files, this should be forbidden. Also, "git status" reports a
bunch of repo files as untracked, "git ls-files" shows nothing at all.
I.e., handling of bare repos needs a workover.
