If you use zsh as your shell, put this chpwd function in .zprofile or
.zshrc:
chpwd() {
local gitbasedir=/var/local/git
local subdir=$gitbasedir$PWD
while [[ ! -d $subdir ]]; do
subdir=${subdir:h}
done
if [[ -d $subdir/.git ]]; then
export GIT_DIR=$subdir/.git
export GIT_WORK_TREE=${subdir/$gitbasedir/}
else
unset GIT_DIR GIT_WORK_TREE
fi
}
Then, for each /path/.git dir, move it to /var/local/git/path/.git
(creating any needed parent dirs). On every change of directory in
the shell, the variables GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE will be either
updated or cleared. If you ever move a work-tree dir, you'll need
to remember to move the .git dir in the /var/local/git hierarchy.
