Administrator requested to merge k/GIT_DIR into master Jun 30, 2020

If a git disk gets in a bad state "dir" may no longer look like a git dir. This then leads to git trying to discover GIT_DIR and crawling all the way up the filesystem. This can lead to strange errors. This has been observed sometimes when we restore from backup.
