* `.git-annex/` needs to have state recorded to it and committed, and that
is not possible with a bare repo. (If [[todo/branching]] were done,
that might be fixed.)

Update: Now that git-annex-shell is used for accessing remote repos,
it would be possible to add smarts about bare repos there, and avoid
some of the above problems. Probably only the state recording problem
remains.
A possible other approach to the state recording repo is to not
record state changes on the remote in that case. Git-annex already
records remote state changes locally whenever it modifies the state of a
remote. --[[Joey]]
