Hmm, realizing that was the workdir it wanted i tried it like so:

[dmq@somewhere apps]$ git --work-tree="$(git-rev-parse --git-dir)/.." pull --rebase /usr/bin/git-sh-setup: line 139: cd: /home/dmq/git_tree/main/apps/.git: No such file or directory Unable to determine absolute path of git directory

Yet:

[dmq@somewhere apps]$ git-rev-parse --git-dir /home/dmq/git_tree/main/.git

is correct.
