+### Please describe the problem.
+I have a transfer repository on a thumbdrive with a FAT file system mounted. It has been working very well for almost a year.
+However, the current annex version overrides the core.bare setting with 'false' and tries to checkout the work tree on my thumbdrive (e.g. on a 'git annex status').
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+Broken git-annex versions:
+
+ * 5.20131130-gc25be33
+ * 5.20131118-gc7e5cde
+
+Working version:
+
+ * 4.20131101-gf59a6d1
+
+OS is Linux.
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
