Make detecting bare Git repositories more robust Git remote repositories may end on '.git', e.g. myrepo.git. Just checking for a repository path to end on '.git' causes 'Repository not found' errors in such a case. To distinguish between bare and normal Git repositories, check if there is a '/.git' part at the end of the repository path (i.e. if GIT_DIR is pointing to '.' (bare) or '.git').
