Are you sure it does "not respect GIT_DIR"?  When you are running clone
locally, like that:

> GIT_WORK_TREE=repo GIT_DIR=repo/.git git clone <path>/repo.git

you have _two_ repositories that the command operates on on your system,
the one that you are cloning _from_, and the new one that you are
creating.

Which repository does your GIT_DIR talk about?
