True, but this doesn't address the issue.  In the example
you gave, the error message is accurate.  Consider this:

$ sudo sh -c 'umask 077; git init'
Initialized empty Git repository in /private/tmp/foo/.git/
$ git rev-parse --git-dir
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

That's just weird.  And if there is a git repository in a
directory above, there may be great confusion, weeping
and gnashing of teeth.
