I am trying to use the following command:

git '--git-dir=/path/to/repository/.git' '--work-tree=/path/to/repository' pull

and get this error:
"git-pull cannot be used without a working tree"

It works fine for me. What's the result of

git '--git-dir=/path/to/repository/.git'
'--work-tree=/path/to/repository' --git-dir

No directory given for --git-dir.

git '--git-dir=/path/to/repository/.git'
'--work-tree=/path/to/repository' --is-inside-work-tree

Unknown option: --is-inside-work-tree

git '--git-dir=/path/to/repository/.git'
'--work-tree=/path/to/repository' --show-toplevel

Unknown option: --show-toplevel

Also what version of git are you using?

1.7.3.4
