Summary:

$ mv .git .foo $ export GIT_DIR=$PWD/.foo $ git status # On branch master # # Initial commit # # Untracked files: # .foo/ nothing added to commit but untracked files present

I checked with 1.8.5 and this still happens. And this also happens:

$ mv .git .foo 
$ export GIT_DIR=.foo
dennis@lightning:~/code/git$ touch .git
dennis@lightning:~/code/git$ git status
On branch master
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

	.foo/

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

(Note the absence of .git there)
