Re: [PATCH] git: update documentation for --git-dir

I feel biased. I want to say, "In many cases, -C=<path> is easier to
understand than --git-dir" instead. :) But my goal with sending this
task to you was "convince people to use -C instead of --git-dir unless
they're really sure" - which may or may not align with the sentiment of
the rest of the list.

Ahh, OK.  

These two are options for completely different purposes, and I tend
to agree with you that most users when they misuse --git-dir the do
want -C instead.
