I only added the "GIT_DIR!" on the advice of Junio, who suggested a
"danger" flag. I asked for suggestions on replacement text.
Keep in mind that "BARE:master" doesn't make much sense. If you're
in a git dir, you don't have a working directory. "BARE" alone
makes sense. Personally, I think it makes more sense to submit a
patch that changes "GIT_DIR!" to "BARE" in the bare case (and
doesn't print any branch).
It reflects what HEAD points to in the bare repository.
