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.

You added an extra --git-dir without an argument at the end of
the command. Remove it and try again.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
