Well, git won't allow .git as a element anywhere in the path, when we
should only care about the _first_ one - and also, if you use
--git-dir=banana then we still check for '.git' ... oops.
That's not how git-dir is supposed to used, so there is no oops.
So I can't _ever_ have a directory/file called '.git'? But I _can_ add
files inside my repository provided that the repository is not called
.git? How is that not an oops, or extremely confusing at the least?
i.e.:
'git add .git/fred' fails
'git --git-dir=.git_repos --work-tree=. add .git/fred' fails
'git --git-dir=.git_repos --work-tree=. add .git_repos/fred' works
Also it is false that we should only care about the first one. Think
submodules.
Ok, true. I've never used submodules, can you add things inside
submodules from the parent? If so, where do they get added - presumably
to the submodule?
