From Slack:\r\n\r\n\u003e @ethomson\r\n\u003e it doesn't seem like that's something that should need a workdir for.\r\n\u003e i suspect that some refactoring just ended up shuffling the not-bare check there.\r\n\r\n### Actual behaviour\r\n\r\nIt errors with `cannot merge. This operation is not allowed against bare repositories`. The bare repository check appears in `merge_heads()`:\r\n\r\nhttps://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/blob/2e0a304839764236654e73d38fa380b317a3fac1/src/merge.c#L3115-L3116\r\n\r\n### Version of libgit2 (release number or SHA1)\r\n\r\n0.28.1 @ 2e0a304839764236654e73d38fa380b317a3fac1\r\n\r\n### Operating system(s) tested\r\n\r\nOSX","author":{"url":"https://github.com/rcoup","@type":"Person","name":"rcoup"},"datePublished":"2019-03-13T00:49:07.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/5017/libgit2/issues/5017"}
