I think the purpose of init_is_bare_repository is something different.
But based off my different understanding, I can't reproduce any
different behavior. I don't know if I'm just confused or not, but I'll
leave some breadcrumbs here to check my understanding.

Here, init_db() caches the value of is_bare_repository(), which itself
reads the value of is_bare_repository_cfg, which can be modified by when
we read "core.bare" via git_config(git_default_config) or similar
(basically, any config callback that uses git_default_config). It is
also modified in other places though, like setup.c.
IIUC, we haven't actually parsed "core.bare" at this point. The
git_config() call just above this calls "plaform_core_config", which is
either "mingw_core_config" (doesn't read "core.bare") or
noop_core_config (noop).

Now, we're in the midst of the re-init. Expanding the context a little,
we see:
git_config(git_default_config, NULL);
/*
* We must make sure command-line options continue to override any
* values we might have just re-read from the config.
*/
is_bare_repository_cfg = init_is_bare_repository || !work_tree;
So now we've read the new config of the re-inited repo, which might have
"core.bare" set to a value other than what "git init-db [--bare]"
started with, so we want to _intentionally_ ignore it. We do this by
reading out the cached value, _not_ by calling is_bare_repository()
again. So it seems to me like this patch changes the intent.
Where I struggling with is how to make this behave badly. The lines
above seem to be defensive in nature - we never use
is_bare_repository_cfg past this point, but we want to guard against
unintentional behavior in the future.
But I thought that logging this value would show a difference in
behavior, e.g.

But apparently this doesn't work at all. I can't get this to print
"is_bare_repository_cfg is 1" no matter what I do, before or after your
patch. Maybe there's more at play here (e.g. with setup.c), but I
haven't figured that out.
If I'm right (which I'm not sure about), we might need to keep
init_is_bare_repository around _somewhere_. Not a global, but maybe
as a param.
