Hi Paul, Thanks for your input. I will work on a re-roll of this series based on, at least, your input on patch 8/8. However, I am going away for 4 weeks today and I will probably not be able to do that until some time after I come back. If anyone else cares to do it before then, please go ahead.

Most of the problems I have tried to fix in this series only appear when GIT_WORK_TREE _is_ set, so I don't think setting it would help. When it it not set, setting it to the directory that git detected should have no effect as far as I can see. /Martin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
