git_superproject: tell git that superproject is bare

The superproject is initialized as a bare repo in Superproject:_Init().
That means that later operations must treat it as a bare repository,
specifying the gitdir and setting 'bare' appropriately when launching
GitCommand()s. It's also OK not to specify cwd here because GitCommand()
will drop cwd if bare == True anyways.

With this change, it's possible to run `repo init` and `repo sync` with the
Git config 'safe.bareRepository' set to 'explicit'. This config strengthens
Git's security posture against embedded bare repository attacks like
https://github.com/justinsteven/advisories/blob/main/2022_git_buried_bare_repos_and_fsmonitor_various_abuses.md.

repo

Repo is a tool built on top of Git. Repo helps manage many Git repositories, does the uploads to revision control systems, and automates parts of the development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git. The repo command is an executable Python script that you can put anywhere in your path.

Contact

Please use the repo-discuss mailing list or issue tracker for questions.

You can file a new bug report under the “repo” component.

Please do not e-mail individual developers for support. They do not have the bandwidth for it, and often times questions have already been asked on repo-discuss or bugs posted to the issue tracker. So please search those sites first.

Install

Many distros include repo, so you might be able to install from there.

# Debian/Ubuntu.
$ sudo apt-get install repo

# Gentoo.
$ sudo emerge dev-vcs/repo

You can install it manually as well as it's a single script.

$ mkdir -p ~/.bin
$ PATH="${HOME}/.bin:${PATH}"
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/.bin/repo
$ chmod a+rx ~/.bin/repo
