[PATCH RESEND] Git.pm: Set GIT_WORK_TREE if we set GIT_DIR

From
Frank Lichtenheld <frank@lichtenheld.de>
Date
May 7, 2009, 13:41 UTC
Message-ID
<1241703688-6892-1-git-send-email-frank@lichtenheld.de>
From: Frank Lichtenheld <flichtenheld@astaro.com>

Otherwise git will use the current directory as work tree which will lead to unexpected results if we operate in sub directory of the work tree.
