Hello, I don't have time now to look into it, so for now as usual just a report. If nobody takes it, I will do it later. zeisberg@cassiopeia:~/gsrc/git$ git version git version 1.5.3.rc4.887.gd56871c [That's Junio's next + my doc change "checkout-index doc: use --work-dir in the export example"] zeisberg@cassiopeia:~/gsrc/git$ mkdir export zeisberg@cassiopeia:~/gsrc/git$ git --work-tree=export checkout-index -a zeisberg@cassiopeia:~/gsrc/git$ git --work-tree=export status fatal: /home/zeisberg/usr/bin/git-status cannot be used without a working tree. runstatus works as expected (at least after some thought): zeisberg@cassiopeia:~/gsrc/git$ git --work-tree=export runstatus | head # On branch next # Changed but not updated: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # # modified: .gitignore # modified: .mailmap # modified: COPYING # modified: Documentation/.gitignore # modified: Documentation/Makefile # modified: Documentation/RelNotes-1.5.0.1.txt The problem seems to be that require_work_tree demands more that I think it should. It calls `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree`.
