This change is not strictly necessary for my PR. It is only convenient for the diff-index tests, which currently use a bare repository.

With git.git I have used the index in bare repositories before. For example, I imported entire repos as subtrees into a super-repository. Without a work tree such operations are much faster and require less disk space. I think libgit2 should not limit itself like that.
