When GIT_DIR environment variable is not specified, .git will be searched if a repository is needed. Currently this can be done in two places: setup_git_directory_gently() and setup_git_env(). The one in setup_git_env() is no longer correct and should IMHO have been removed since the introduction of setup_git_directory_gently() in d288a70. Having two ways of auto detection may lead to obscure errors because .git may be misdetected by setup_git_env(), automatically called via git_path(), which is all over the place. This patch makes setup_git_env() die if GIT_DIR is not explictly set. That's setup_git_directory_gently()'s job. If you ever want to touch things inside $GIT_DIR, you should have already called setup_git_directory_gently(). This patch breaks commands (in a good way) and obviously not for mainline. I still have to go through "make test" to see how many are impacted. But I think this is a good change. Am I missing something?
