It's because when you did git --work-tree=. init, worktree is stored in .git/config. The code that chdir() in setup_git_directory() probably forgot to chdir() back to toplevel worktree. Workaround could be just remove core.worktree in .git/config. > I'm using 1.5.5.1 > > Cheers, > Geoff Russell > > ------------------------ sample script > #!/bin/sh > if [ -d "testgit" ] ; then > echo "remove testgit" > /bin/rm -rf testgit > fi > mkdir testgit && echo yyyy >testgit/sample.sh && cd testgit > mkdir aaa && mkdir aaa/bbb > echo xxxx > aaa/bbb/sample2.sh > mkdir xxx > git --git-dir=xxx/.git --work-tree=. init > git --git-dir=xxx/.git --work-tree=. add *.sh > git --git-dir=xxx/.git --work-tree=. commit -m demo > mv xxx/.git . > cd aaa/bbb > git add sample2.sh > > -- > 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 > -- Duy -- 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
