Subject: [GSoC PATCH v5 3/5] repo: add field layout.bare

From: Lucas Seiki Oshiro <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2025 14:51:08 -0300

This commit is part of the series that introduces the new subcommand
git-repo-info.

The flag --is-bare-repository from git-rev-parse is used for retrieving
whether the current repository is bare. This way, it is used for
querying repository metadata, fitting in the purpose of git-repo-info.

Then, add a new field layout.bare to the git-repo-info subcommand
containing that information.
