I think this could be fixed fairly easily using the existing code to
list the keys in a non-checked out git branch.

It will defeat git-annex's location tracking so could lead to data loss.

I don't know why bup couldn't be used with a bare repository, but I am
unsure if trying to use bup in the same git repository as git-annex is
worth the potential complication.
