git-init will always put an absolute path in
GIT_DIR/workdir, relative paths are resolved from the
directory git-init was called from.

Does that mean I can't move my GIT trees around without changing a 
config entry? What is that an improvement?

Only when using $GIT_DIR.  $GIT_DIR/workdir is only the default value
for $GIT_WORK_DIR.
