For one thing, I do not think we supported such a layout, officially or unofficially --- the thing is in contrib so it could not be official, but that is besides the point ;-). Older git might have worked by accident, though. You may have made the part to create the new directory and make bunch of symbolic links to work with your patch, but as far as I know, new-workdir is designed to share the .git/config file with the borrowed repository, which means the configuration would say "core.bare = yes" for a bare repository. So I suspect that the initial checkout after creating the new directory and populating its .git would barf, although I haven't tested it. - 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
