"git-rev-parse --is-inside-git-dir" outputs "fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git", instead of "false" when outside of a git directory. "--is-inside-work-tree" behaves the same way. Both commands work correctly (i.e. output "true") when inside a git directory, or inside a work tree, respectively.
To test, I installed git 1.8.4.2 initially from https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ppa for Ubuntu 12.04.3, and then also compiled it from source, but both seem to behave the same way. The problem is not yet present in version 1.7.9.5.
