Hi Clemens,

Without your patch applied, I get

 $ cd .git
 $ git --work-tree=/tmp/git symbolic-ref HEAD
 refs/heads/hello

I should have done the following instead:

 $ worktree=$(pwd)
 $ cd .git
 $ git --work-tree="$worktree" symbolic-ref HEAD
 fatal: ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref

Looks reasonable.  Should be const char *cwd.

If I understand correctly, you made two changes here:

 - interpret GIT_WORK_TREE and friends relative to .git instead of
   the original cwd (by not calling chdir(retval) before
   get_git_work_tree())

 - make setup_git_directory stay in the last directory searched for a
   .git directory instead of chdir-ing into the toplevel of the work tree.

Are these safe changes to make?
