Hi,

I'm writing a little php-git-wrapper and would like to have a function which tells me, whether a given path is part of a git checkout or not.

What would be the fastest commandline to check, whether the current dir is part of a checkout? It may be assumed that the repository is at the standard position.

Thanks a lot,
