The original intention of --work-tree was to allow people to work in a
subdirectory of their working tree that does not have an embedded .git
directory. Because their working tree, which their $cwd was in, did not
have an embedded .git, they needed to use $GIT_DIR to specify where it is,
and because this meant there was no way to discover where the root level
of the working tree was, so we needed to add $GIT_WORK_TREE to tell git
where it was.
However, this facility has long been (mis)used by people's scripts to
start git from a working tree _with_ an embedded .git directory, let git
find .git directory, and then pretend as if an unrelated directory were
the associated working tree of the .git directory found by the discovery
process. It happens to work in simple cases, and is not worth causing
"regression" to these scripts.

When setup_work_tree() is called, it moves cwd to $GIT_WORK_TREE and
makes internal copy of $GIT_WORK_TREE absolute. The environt variable,
if set by user, remains unchanged. If the variable is relative, it is
no longer correct because its base dir has changed.
Instead of making $GIT_WORK_TREE absolute too, we just say "." and let
subsequent git processes handle it.

This function is the most complex one among the three setup_*
functions because all GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE, core.worktree and
core.bare are involved.
Because core.worktree is only effective inside
setup_explicit_git_dir() and the extra code in setup_git_directory()
is to handle that. The extra code can now be retired.
Also note that setup_explicit assignment is removed, worktree setting
is no longer decided by get_git_work_tree(). get_git_work_tree() will
be simplified in the next commit.

get_git_work_tree() takes input as core.worktree, core.bare,
GIT_WORK_TREE and decides correct worktree setting.
Unfortunately it does not do its job well. core.worktree and
GIT_WORK_TREE should only be taken into account, if GIT_DIR is set
(which is handled by setup_explicit_git_dir). For other setup cases,
only core.bare matters.
Add a temporary variable setup_explicit to adjust get_git_work_tree()
behavior as such. This variable will be gone once setup_* rework is
done.
Also remove is_bare_repository_cfg check in set_git_work_tree() to
ease the rework. We are going to check for core.bare and core.worktree
early before setting worktree. For example, if core.bare is true, no
need to set worktree.

Save the path from the original cwd to the cwd at the end of the
setup procedure in the startup_info struct introduced in e37c1329
(2010-08-05). The value cannot vary from thread to thread anyway,
since the cwd is global.
So now in your builtin command, instead of passing prefix around,
when you want to convert a user-supplied path to a cwd-relative
path, you can use startup_info->prefix directly.
Caveat: As with the return value from setup_git_directory_gently(),
startup_info->prefix would be NULL when the original cwd is not a
subdir of the toplevel.
Longer term, this would allow the prefix to be reused when several
noncooperating functions require access to the same repository (for
example, when accessing configuration before running a builtin).

As v1.7.2~16^2 (git --paginate: paginate external commands
again, 2010-07-14) explains, builtins (like git config) that
do not use RUN_SETUP are not finding GIT_DIR set correctly when
it is time to launch the pager from run_builtin(). If they
were to search for a repository sooner, then the outcome of such
early repository accesses would be more predictable and reliable.
The cmd_*() functions learn whether a repository was found through the
*nongit_ok return value from setup_git_directory_gently(). If
run_builtin() is to take care of the repository search itself, that
datum needs to be retrievable from somewhere else. Use the
startup_info struct for this.
As a bonus, this information becomes available to functions such as
git_config() which might want to avoid trying to access a repository
when none is present.

v1.6.1.3~4^2 (Fix gitdir detection when in subdir of gitdir,

should GIT_DIR be set to point to the .git directory, but
the original working directory should be restored before

This way, the effect of running a git command from a subdir

The original declaration was int, which seems to cause trouble on my
machine. It causes spurious "filesystem boundary" errors when running
the testsuite. The cause seems to be
$ stat -c%d .
2147549952
which is too large for a 32-bit int type.
Using the correct type, dev_t, solves the issue. (Because I'm
paranoid and forgetful, I checked -- yes, Unix v7 had dev_t.)
Other uses of st_dev seem to be reasonably safe. fill_stat_cache_info
truncates it to an 'unsigned int', but that value seems to be used only
to validate the cache, and only if USE_STDEV is defined.

Regarding the new environment variable, Linus Torvalds
<torvalds@linux-foundation.org> writes on Tue, 30 Mar 2010 in
<alpine.LFD.2.00.1003301537150.3707@i5.linux-foundation.org>:
I suspect that it is _very_ unusual to have a source repo that crosses
multiple filesystems, and the original reason for this patch-series
seems to me to be likely to be more common than that multi-fs case. So
having the logic go the other way would seem to match the common case,
no?
The "crossing filesystem boundary" condition is checked by comparing
st_dev field in the result from stat(2). This is slightly worrysome if
non-POSIX ports return different values in the field even for directories
in the same work tree extracted to the same "filesystem". Erik Faye-Lund
confirms that in the msysgit port st_dev is 0, so this should be safe, as
"even Windows is safe" ;-)
This will affect those who use /.git to cram /etc and /home/me in the same
repostiory, /home is mounted from non-root filesystem, and a git operation
is done from inside /home/me/src. But that is such a corner case we don't
want to give preference over helping people who will benefit from having
this default so that they do not have to suffer from slow automounters.

This patch makes git pay attention to the GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM environment
variable. When that variable is set, git will stop searching for a
GIT_DIR when it attempts to cross a filesystem boundary.
When working in an environment with too many automount points to make

gives the option of turning all such attempts off with one setting.

Git should work regardless where the working directory is located,
even at root. This patch fixes two places where it assumes working
directory always have parent directory.
In setup_git_directory_gently(), when Git goes up to root and finds
.git there, it happily sets worktree to "" instead of "/".
In prefix_path(), loosen the outside repo check a little bit. Usually
when a path XXX is inside worktree /foo, it must be either "/foo", or
"/foo/...". When worktree is simply "/", we can safely ignore the
check: we have a slash at the beginning already.
Not related to worktree, but also set gitdir correctly if a bare repo
is placed (insanely?) at root.

This patch converts the setenv() calls in path.c and setup.c. After
the call, git grep with a pager works again in bare repos.
It leaves the setenv(GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT, ...) calls in git.c alone, as
they respond to command line switches that emulate the effect of setting
the environment variable directly.
The remaining site in environment.c is in set_git_dir() and is left
alone, too, of course. Finally, builtin-init-db.c is left changed
because the repo is still being carefully constructed when the
environment variable is set.

This fixes the behaviour of octal notation to how it is defined in the
documentation, while keeping the traditional "loosen only" semantics
intact for "group" and "everybody".
Three main points of this patch are:
- For an explicit octal notation, the internal shared_repository variable
is set to a negative value, so that we can tell "group" (which is to
"OR" in 0660) and 0660 (which is to "SET" to 0660);
- git-init did not set shared_repository variable early enough to affect
the initial creation of many files, notably copied templates and the
configuration. We set it very early when a command-line option
specifies a custom value.
- Many codepaths create files inside $GIT_DIR by various ways that all
involve mkstemp(), and then call move_temp_to_file() to rename it to
its final destination. We can add adjust_shared_perm() call here; for
the traditional "loosen-only", this would be a no-op for many codepaths
because the mode is already loose enough, but with the new behaviour it
makes a difference.
