When an explicit '--git-dir' option points to a directory inside the work tree, git treats it as if it were any other directory. In particular, 'git status' lists it as untracked, while 'git add -A' stages the metadata directory entirely
Add GIT_DIR to the list of excludes in setup_standard_excludes(), while checking that GIT_DIR is not just '.git', in which case it would be ignored by default, and that GIT_DIR is inside GIT_WORK_TREE
Although an analogous comparison of any given path against '.git' is done in treat_path(), this does not seem to be the right place to compare against GIT_DIR. Instead, the excludes provide an effective mechanism of ignoring a file/directory, and adding GIT_DIR as an exclude is equivalent of putting it into '.gitignore'. Function setup_standard_excludes() was chosen because that is the place where the excludes are initialized by the commands that are concerned about excludes
Signed-off-by: Pasha Bolokhov <pasha.bolokhov@gmail.com> --- Improve test tree structure. Add a check for work_tree==NULL in dir.c:setup_standard_excludes When work_tree is NULL, there is no concept of whether the repo is within work tree or not, but we still default to ignoring GIT_DIR
