I'm probably missing something, but that's the same as my second
example, and works. I also tried running it from completely outside the
repo:

dennis@lightning:~$ code/git/git --git-dir=code/git/.foo --work-tree=code/git status
On branch master
nothing to commit, working directory clean
dennis@lightning:~$ code/git/git --git-dir=/home/dennis/code/git/.foo --work-tree=code/git status
On branch master
nothing to commit, working directory clean
