Hello,
I have created a bare repository:
$ mkdir remote.git
angelo@ANGELO-PC /d/gtest (master)
$ git init --bare
Initialized empty Git repository in d:/gtest/
and then tried to open it with the git gui, but have got the message:
"remote.git is not a git repository".
The git gui is the one that I have downloaded from the git web site for windows:
gt-gui version 0.16.GITGUI
git version 1.7.11.msysgit.1
Thank you

This creates a bare repository in d:/gtest, not in
d:/gtest/remote.git. You'll need to cd into remote.git to create a
bare repo.
and then tried to open it with the git gui, but have got the message:
"remote.git is not a git repository".
So this message is correct.
Be as it may, as soon as you've initialized the repo as required, git
gui will (probably) tell you:
"Cannot use bare repository:
d:/gtest/remote.git"
So nothing gained there. So I'm wondering what you expect git gui to
give you in a bare repo? It seems to me that this tool is specifically
aimed at non-bare repos, allowing for creating commits, merges and
whatnot; all things you cannot typically do in a bare repo.
