You are exactly right, I accidentally created a bare repository. I can 
do 2 things: I can change core.bare to true, or I can create .git in the 
normal way, then move rename it. Both things still have the problem of 
git not knowing where the working directory is. Is the only way to fix 
this in 1.5.2.4, or is my only option to upgrade?

Thanks,
Dan
