Heh, I was not thinking straight. A bare repository does not have the
index, so allowing (cd .git && git reset) is Ok but mixed in a bare
repository (cd bare.git && git reset) is not.

Hmm. I would have thought it would be allowed in a bare repository, to
explicitly let people treat the bare repo as a pseudo-database, just
pulling out the files when they want to. And I was all set to argue
against restricting it, but looking at your tests, it seems we already
disallow it. So I don't see a harm in verifying the current behavior.
