The option itself is unfortunately misnamed, as well, as it should be
"--is-inside-working-tree". We could of course introduce an alias for
it, but I'm not sure it's worth it. Definitely doesn't have to be part
of this patch series.

Other than that this series looks good to me, and I certainly appreciate
that we're now being more consistent with our own terminology. Thanks!
