This description is a bit misleading since it focuses only on existing
repositories, however, --separate-git-dir is intended for use with
both new and existing repositories. So, perhaps the description could
be rewritten something like this:
The purpose of "git init --separate-git-dir" is to initialize a
new project with the repository separate from the working tree,
or, in the case of an existing project, to move the repository
(the .git/ directory) out of the working tree. It does not make
sense to use --separate-git-dir with a bare repository for which
there is no working tree, so disallow its use with bare
repositories.
