Re: [PATCH] allow setting GIT_WORK_TREE to "no work tree"

In fact, the more I think about it, that makes sense. WORK_TREE munging
just happens to be the only special behavior right now that depends on
whether the user manually set GIT_DIR. But what we really want to
communicate to later code is not "I have corrected this particular
munge" but "don't run any special behavior as a result of this variable
being set."

Yeah, that makes sense.
