git-reset does not seem to respect GIT_WORK_TREE

Hi everyone,

I noticed that git-reset does not seem to respect GIT_WORK_TREE. Here is a simplified test case:

$ mkdir src_dir && cd src_dir $ git init $ touch A && git add A && git commit -m "Dummy commit." $ mkdir ../build_dir && cd ../build_dir $ export GIT_WORK_TREE=../src_dir $ export GIT_DIR=../src_dir/.git $ git reset Unstaged changes after reset: D A

The final command "git reset" erroneously suggests that the file "A" does not exist in the working tree. Does anybody know why git-reset behaves this way?

Thanks, Patrick
