gitautosync CLI seems to require being called in a git repo

I am getting the following:

$ gitautosync --git-url https://github.com/data-8/gitautosync

Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

It looks as though the first thing the gitautosync CLI does is to call git status?

Oh - I get it, the repo-dir input is supposed to be a directory that doesn't yet exist! So, if you do the default, you need to intend to be inside the already cloned repo!

It's been three years and there's been a lot of development, please re-open if this is still a problem.
