Yeah, for historical reasons GIT_WORK_TREE defaults to $(pwd) when GIT_DIR is explicitly set. In git versions including the patch 2cd83d10bb6b (setup: suppress implicit "." work-tree for bare repos, 2013-03-08, currently in "next" but not "master"), you can set GIT_IMPLICIT_WORK_TREE=0 to avoid this behavior. Thanks for a useful example, and sorry for the trouble.
