If I do GIT_DIR=$HOME/projects/<project>/.git git ls-files --others from, e.g., $HOME, I get a list of all the files in $HOME and its subdirectories that aren't in said git repository. Shouldn't --others use $GIT_DIR, instead of ".", or am I missing something here?

git-ls-files --others lists untracked files in the current directory by comparing it to the index stored in $GIT_DIR/index and listing files present in the current directory but not in the index. GIT_DIR is a path to the Git repository the commands should work with, but if they work on working tree, they look at the current directory for it. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ The meaning of Stonehenge in Traflamadorian, when viewed from above, is: "Replacement part being rushed with all possible speed."

Ah, of course; how silly of me. Thanks.
