I mean, it _is_ the common case to have a working tree with a .git/ in it, and that's it. So I am quite certain that it is not worth the complicated and intrusive patch to separate the logic. Particularly since working tree has a bad reputation already, as Junio pointed out: whenever we touch it, we get burnt. Ciao, Dscho
