$ cd [some existing git repo]
$ git git foo
WARNING: You called a Git command named 'git', which does not exist.
Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'init'
in 0.1 seconds automatically...
fatal: internal error: work tree has already been set
Current worktree: /home/dturner/git
New worktree: /home/dturner/git/foo

(I am extremely unlikely to fix this bug myself, since it only arises in very rare circumstances).
