It seems to do OK if you do something like: $ GIT_DIR=/path/to/store/repo; export GIT_DIR $ GIT_WORK_TREE=/; export GIT_WORK_TREE $ git init $ cd /etc/whatever $ git add . So probably the bug is in detecting the location of the work tree when it is not explicitly given. You can use the explicit style as a workaround for now. -Peff
