There is not really much that can be done about step 6/9: if we are in a 
work tree: that does not mean that we are _not_ in the git_dir.  (And no, 
this does not break git-clean, as a work tree is a work tree is a work 
tree.  If the user was stupid enough to specify the same directory as 
GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE, then that is _her_ problem.  Git is a powerful 
tool, and you can harm yourself with it.  Tough.)

I think we might have a slight misunderstanding.  The "clean"
issue that was raised in an ancient thread was this sequence:

	$ git init
        $ cd .git
        $ git clean

It did not involve GIT_DIR (nor GIT_WORK_TREE as it was not even
there).

I very much _did_ mean that case.  When "git clean" is run in ".git/", it 
should not say that it is in the working tree.  But I guess that my patch 
series is not really looking out for that;  I'll make that an add-on 
patch.  (But that _will_ have to wait until tomorrow afternoon.)
