Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 0ce248d1bf Recognize a repo that has no work tree instead of bailing out
git makes `rev-parse --show-toplevel` fatal when there's no work tree,
so asking for it together with everything else meant we never got an
answer at all for a bare repo: GetRepoPaths returned an error, nobody
ever saw IsBareRepo() == true, and lazygit either died with a stack
trace or decided we weren't in a repository. That's what you got for
opening it in a directory holding a bare repo and a .git file pointing
at it, which is a normal way to keep a repo and its worktrees together.

Ask again without --show-toplevel when the first query fails: the other
queries work fine without a work tree, so if they now succeed we know
we're in a bare repo, and the existing prompt offering to open a recent
repo does its job. If they fail too we're not in a repo at all, and the
first error already says so.

--is-bare-repository is gone from the query: a work tree implies
core.bare is false, so it could only ever come back false there, and
what matters to us is whether there is a work tree to show, which is
what we now go by.
