git rebase does not understand --work-tree

Hi, list!

$ git --version git version 1.7.1.1

I often use --work-tree and --git-dir to avoid doing cd in my scripts.

However, I've found that git rebase does not understand --work-tree option (see test below). Is this fixable?

Thanks, Alexander.

mkdir tmp cd tmp git init echo "test">file.txt git add . git commit -m "initial commit"

git checkout -b other-branch echo "test2">otherfile.txt git add . git commit -m "second commit"

cd .. git --git-dir=tmp/.git --work-tree=tmp rebase other-branch

fatal: /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-rebase cannot be used without a working tree.
