Back when bw/config-h was developed (and backported to Git for Windows), I came up with a patch to use git_dir if commondir is NULL, and contributed that as v1 of this patch. However, it was deemed a bug if that happens, so let's instead detect that condition and report it.
Change since v1: * Be loud about this bug instead of papering over it.
