before I could do git-new-workdir path/to/repo/.git neworkdirname now that doesn't seem to work... I actually had to cd to path/to/repo/.git and do git-new-workdir . ../.../neworkdirname to get it to work. it was complaining that the .git/ wasn't a git repo. using git 1.6.2.3 -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

Works fine for me. Are you sure you didn't have a typo in your original git-new-workdir invocation? If so, could you supply: 1) the complete output of running git-new-workdir 2) the output of "git rev-parse --git-dir" run in path/to/repo/.git Also, you shouldn't need to supply the .git, so "git new-workdir path/to/repo newworkdirname" should also work, have you tried that? -- Julian --- Linux is addictive, I'm hooked! -- MaDsen Wikholm's .sig

*sighs* oh yes, that old chestnut ... You're exporting CDPATH, this variable shouldn't be exported. This is likely to cause random shell scripts to break. Alternatively, Putting "unset CDPATH" at the beginning of git-new-workdir should fix it. This has come up a number of times in the past on the git list.
