I however suspect that you must save and check the location of the working tree, though, for correctness. If you use one GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE to do "git add" or whatever, and then use the same GIT_DIR but a different GIT_WORK_TREE, you should be able to notice that a directory D in the old GIT_WORK_TREE whose modification time you recorded is different from the directory D with the same name but in the new GIT_WORK_TREE, no? -- 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
