Re: Bug: `git init` with hook `reference-transaction` running `git rev-parse --git-dir` fails

We have another solution that is even simpler: just do nothing. I do not
think that the behaviour we exhibit is wrong. Unwieldy? Maybe. But it is
merely stating facts: we are executing a transaction in a repository
that is not yet fully set up. If you don't want that, either don't set
up a global reference-transaction hook, or alternatively handle that
edge case in your script.

I like that over all the other choices.

My art in leaving out what I really want to see happen and let
others say it is improving, it seems ;-).
