Allow using magit-forge without a git repository in the project

I know, I know... but hear me out!

I am using Jujutsu quite a bit lately, including in jj workspaces. Those don't have a git repository associated with them. They are, however, still backed by GitHub repositories, with issues and all that.

I'd love to keep using magit-forge even when I'm not using magit itself to manage the clone. Currently running magit-status in the repo acts as if I have a new empty git repository ("In the beginning there was darkness")

so, my idea / request / sincere hope is that there is a way to use the excellent UX of magit-forge alongside not-git.

That's something for next year.

Awesome, thanks!
