Revision 4868b2ea17b7a5e8171cb109423a25a269bfefe5 authored by Jonathan Nieder on 19 January 2011, 12:42:30 UTC, committed by Junio C Hamano on 21 January 2011, 22:31:24 UTC 
Subject: setup: officially support --work-tree without --git-dir
 
The original intention of --work-tree was to allow people to work in a
subdirectory of their working tree that does not have an embedded .git
directory.  Because their working tree, which their $cwd was in, did not
have an embedded .git, they needed to use $GIT_DIR to specify where it is,
and because this meant there was no way to discover where the root level
of the working tree was, so we needed to add $GIT_WORK_TREE to tell git
where it was.

However, this facility has long been (mis)used by people's scripts to
start git from a working tree _with_ an embedded .git directory, let git
find .git directory, and then pretend as if an unrelated directory were
the associated working tree of the .git directory found by the discovery
process.  It happens to work in simple cases, and is not worth causing
"regression" to these scripts.
