Doing: cd /tmp git --git-dir=/git/somewhere/else/.git update-index --untracked-cache doesn't work how one would expect. It hardcodes "/tmp" as the directory that "works" into the index, so if you use the working tree, you'll never use the untracked cache. With this patch "git update-index --untracked-cache" tells the user in which directory tests are performed and in which working directory the untracked cache is allowed.
