There always is a room for Documentation/ improvements ;-) Seriously, I think config.txt mentions GIT_WORK_TREE and GIT_DIR and git.txt has separate sections for environment and config, but I do not see a good section that gives a comprehensive view of how they work together to affect your git experience. Perhaps between File/Directory Structure and Terminology sections we would want to have a description of how repository and worktree relate to each other. - 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
