Ah, I see the problem.
>From your commit message I assumed that you fixed the wrong spot... Which
you did not. It would have helped me if the message had read:
When both GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE are set, and
setup_git_directory_gently() changes the current working
directory accordingly, it should also set inside_work_tree = 1.
Your fix is the proper one, but it not only fixes setup_git_directory(),
but all callers of setup_git_directory_gently().
