See #1255.

Currently, the git repository for each image is stored in-band in the standard location, .git at the top of the working directory. This prevents the image from having any files named .git at the top level. We could instead put the repo somewhere else, using GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE environment variables (or --git-dir and --git-work-tree).

Issue #1541 describes actual breakage caused by this.

.gitignore could go in bucache/info/exclude.
