There's one caller we missed, in "git apply" when you apply a binary
patch outside any repository.
The patch below fixes it but doesn't have tests. I'll try to send
out a patch with tests later today.
It's probably also worth making the die("BUG") compile-time
configurable so distros have an easy way out if any similar bugs are
lurking undiscovered.
Thanks,

Subject: has_sha1_file: don't bother if we are not in a repository
Most callers to this function already require that they are in a
git repository, but there is an exception: "git apply" uses
has_sha1_file to avoid work if the result of applying a binary
patch is already present in the repository. When run outside any
repository, this produces an error:
fatal: BUG: setup_git_env called without repository
