Hi,

When git is configured with safe.bareRepository=explicit [1], various pieces
here just fail. LWN has an article about the problem that this configuration
option addresses and why it is useful in [2].

To test, simply run
    git config --global safe.bareRepository explicit
to add safe.bareRepository=explicit to your ~/.gitconfig, and see things
fail without these patches.

These patches are the first stop-gap step to make bitbake/OE work with this
configuration option enabled. I believe in the future, these should be
converted to invoking git with the --git-dir= option explicitly.

Cheers,
Andre'

This went to the wrong list, sorry. I'll resend on Monday.
