Just thinking aloud to see if I got the full implication of the above right... If we find ourselves in the multi-checkout mode because we saw .git/commondir on the filesystem, it is clear that the root of the working tree is the parent directory of that .git directory. If the reason we think we are in the multi-checkout mode is not because of .git/commondir but because $GIT_COMMON_DIR is set, should we assume the same relationship between the root of the working tree and the GIT_DIR (however we find it) when the environment variable $GIT_WORK_TREE is not set? Or should that configuration be an error? With $GIT_DIR set without $GIT_WORK_TREE set, the user is telling us that the $cwd is the root of the working tree, so perhaps we should do the same? -- 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
