It doesn't make sense by itself since we don't try to execute the contents of GIT_WORK_TREE, but it's unlikely to be used by a user, and I believe there was recent talk of making "GIT_EDITOR=:" work. The other option is setting GIT_MAGICALLY_SET_GIT_DIR_SO_DONT_ACT_LIKE_THE_USER_DID=1 but I was hoping to avoid that. -Peff - 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
