Nice. Is that automagic? And if yes, may I steal it?

With env variables set:

% git merge origin
fatal: origin - not something we can merge
%

With parameters:

% git '--work-tree=/home/richih/killme/fgit/target-default'
'--git-dir=/home/richih/killme/fgit/source' merge origin
fatal: origin - not something we can merge
%

In a normal worktree without any mangling:
% git merge origin
[...success...]
%

I think I reduced the test-case as much as I can, especially since the
script takes care of everything for you. If you simply run in on any
random git repo, you will be able to replicate this behaviour.
Unfortunately ;)


Thanks,
Richard
