  P.S.: Either way, there is a possible workaround to tell git about the
working directory manually using git --work-tree=... that I missed to
mention on IRC, Yves.

Hmm, am i using it wrong then?

[dmq@somewhere apps]$ git-rev-parse --git-dir
/home/dmq/git_tree/main/.git
[dmq@somewhere apps]$ git --work-tree="$(git-rev-parse --git-dir)" pull
--rebase
/usr/bin/git-sh-setup: line 139: cd: .git: No such file or directory
Unable to determine absolute path of git directory

Hmm, realizing that was the workdir it wanted i tried it like so:

[dmq@somewhere apps]$ git --work-tree="$(git-rev-parse --git-dir)/.."
pull --rebase
/usr/bin/git-sh-setup: line 139: cd: /home/dmq/git_tree/main/apps/.git:
No such file or directory
Unable to determine absolute path of git directory

Yet:

[dmq@somewhere apps]$ git-rev-parse --git-dir
/home/dmq/git_tree/main/.git

is correct.

cheers,
yves
