Re: GIT_DIR vs. --git-dir

Jeff King [off-list ref] writes:

Bash is even weirder than you might think. Try this:

  $ echo ~/foo
  /home/peff/foo

  $ echo arg=~/foo
  arg=/home/peff/foo

  $ echo --arg=~/foo
  --arg=~/foo

Bash expands all arguments that look like variable assignments.  That
lets you write "export arg=~/foo" even though a POSIX shell wouldn't
tilde expand it.
