[BUG?] worktree setup broken in subdirs with git alias

Hi there,

sorry I can't dig deeper now, but the worktree code from next seems to
get confused now as soon as you cd to a subdir of a worktree (other than
the main worktree) and use an alias:

git help ss
`git ss' is aliased to `status -s -b'
[mjg@skimbleshanks Biomath-WS15 (exam $)]✓ git status -s -b
## exam
[mjg@skimbleshanks Biomath-WS15 (exam $)]✓ git ss
fatal: internal error: work tree has already been set
Current worktree: /home/mjg/Teaching/LUK
New worktree: /home/mjg/Teaching/LUK/Biomath-WS15

This is inside the subdir "Biomath-WS15" of the worktree residing in
".../LUK".

It wasn't like that last year ;)

Something about setting GIT_DIR and the like in the environment must
have changed (for aliases), badly interacting with the worktree code.

You forgot to mention what version you used. But it's probably related
to d95138e (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like
$GIT_DIR - 2015-06-26). This commit fixed your problem (and was
released) but it introduced some other regressions so it's been
reverted in 'next'. 'pu' has a re-fix on top of the revert.

Gaaah i need to work on my reading skills. You did mention 'next' in

So it matches my expectation. Merge branch
nd/clear-gitenv-upon-use-of-alias to fix it.

Well, I mentioned "from next", which I admit is not super-precise (it's
next not older than a day or two, plus some local additions). In fact it is:

ef7b32d (Sync with 2.7, 2016-01-04)

which "has" d95138e (as per git branch contains) but also df1e6ea87
which reverts it. (I guess --really-contains would be neat but difficult.)

So while I didn't notice the problems that lead to the revert, I noticed
the problems the revert created... Early adopters' luck.

As for the fix on pu, do you mean that one:
ac78663 (run-command: don't warn on SIGPIPE deaths, 2015-12-29)

I'll give it a shot then.

And the three commits before that, if you cherry-pick instead of
merge, so 0d5466d to ac78663

Meanwhile you had answered my question before I even asked it. Great
user support over here :)

And hooray, merging ac78663 saves my problem, thanks!

Since I didn't notice the problems that the earlier fix caused I can't
say whether the newer fix avoids them.
