blame: default to HEAD in a bare repo when no start commit is given When 'git blame' is invoked without specifying the commit to start blaming from, it starts from the given file's state in the work tree. However, when invoked in a bare repository without a start commit, then there is no work tree state to start from, and it dies with the following error message: $ git rev-parse --is-bare-repository true $ git blame file.c fatal: this operation must be run in a work tree This is misleading, because it implies that 'git blame' doesn't work in bare repositories at all, but it does, in fact, work just fine when it is given a commit to start from. We could improve the error message, of course, but let's just default to HEAD in a bare repository instead, as most likely that is what the user wanted anyway (if they wanted to start from an other commit, then they would have specified that in the first place). 'git annotate' is just a thin wrapper around 'git blame', so in the same situation it printed the same misleading error message, and this patch fixes it, too.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
