The message
"Not inside a git repository"

I tend to agree. I was only trying to see if we can salvage a more
precise diagnosis f66bc5f (Always show which directory is not a git

sentence will become even more awkward.
"Not inside a bare git repository nor a work tree that has .git/ somewhere in it."
