Re: [PATCH] Preserve cwd in setup_git_directory()

When GIT_DIR is not set, cwd is used to determine where .git is. If 
core.worktree is set, setup_git_directory() needs to jump back to the

.git location later in setup_work_tree().

I do not understand.  core.worktree is either absolute, in which case 
there is no problem.  Or it is relative to where the config lives, no?

Besides, this touches a _very_ delicate part of Git.  I'd rather not touch 
it during the -rc cycle.

I remember I was opposed to the whole worktree crap, and judging by the 
sheer amount of bug reports, next to nobody uses it anyway.

It was implemented in a really ugly manner, too, and my attempt to fix it 
was still messy.  That is why we have _only_ problems with it.

Just thinking of worktree makes me uneasy,
