My case seems a bit complicated than usual. The working directory

"has_working_directory = 0; return NULL;" with "strcpy(cwd,gitwd);c =
0;break;", it may work but see below

If you're outside the specifed working directory the
is_bare_repository will return true, just as if you don't have a
working directory.  Do you expect anything else or doesn't this work?
