Support bare repositories

[FredrikNoren]

Right now ungit crashes (#168) if you try to run it in a bare repository.

+1 for this. This feature would allow us to effectively have a sort of personal github/gitlab. It would be really useful for small teams. We'll be using fetch for repos before merging them for now but would appreciate to actually be able so see the commit tree on a bare repository before even fetching it.

I am having the same issue with remote repos that may or may not be set up. Some of the errors are resolved if you run ungit --no-autoFetch

Quite frankly, i thought this was fixed. When i do mkdir test; cd test; git init and than going into test director didn't cause any errors for me. What error are you seeing specifically?

[campersau]

@codingtwinky try git init --bare. For local bare repositories ungits quickstatus just returns "uninited" (no errors).

Yeah, "bare" is not the same thing as "empty". A bare repository is basically just the .git folder, with no working directory. It's often used on servers where a working directory isn't needed. (So you can push and pull from the repository, but the server doesn't need to a copy of the source at any specific revision.)

[jung-kim]

Sorry for my own incompetence that took forever to fix such easy fix.

It is should now support bare repo without any error messages but with disabled staging and stash as it is not applicable to bare repo.

Thanks @codingtwinky!
