Yes and no. While I agree that having more things customizable may be nicer than not having them, I do not see what GIT_BASEDIR buys us. That is, I cannot come up with a good use scenario that would be helped by having that environment variable.

Except that you do not have to specify GIT_OBJECTS and GIT_INDEX_FILE separately, that is. Is it what you are aiming for?
