It is non-bare and /path/to is the working tree. The git pull was run inside a shell and $(pwd) is $HOME. GIT_WORK_TREE is not used. This let me remember that there were some directories/files checkout under $HOME that should be under /path/to. I might recall incorrectly, but does it mean that it need to use the form GIT_DIR=/path/to/.git GIT_WORK_TREE=/path/to git pull url to make it to the samething as cd /path/to && git pull url -- regards, ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 -- 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
