It is a good point. Maybe submit shouldn't be allowed by default at all
From bare repository. What do you think about following approach?  If
core.base is true, then if git-p4.submitFromBare is also true then
submit without performing proper rebase, but update master ref from
p4/master. If core.base is true, but git-p4.submitFromBare is false,
abort immediately. Submitting from bare repository would require aware
decision from a user.

Kind regards,
